The bull is off the nickel

"Bull" is being used as a double entendre -- meaning both the animal shown on the nickel and the other meaning of stupid or untrue talk or writing; nonsense. So, the bull is coming off the nickel and bring applied to the situation at hand. The situation at hand being nonsensical.

This obscure phrase is famously used in the Twilight Zone episode "Mr. Garrity and the Graves". Rod Serling, in the intro, uses this expression in referring to Jared Garrity, who makes a living restoring life to the dead.
"Mr. Garrity, if one can believe him, is a resurrecter of the dead - which, on the face of it, certainly sounds like the bull is off the nickel." -- Rod Serling

Wax on, Wack off

When a guy gets hot molten wax (from a lit candle) dripped on his junk as a means of sexual stimulation. This is either done by himself or a partner. Alternatively, he can dip just the head of his dick in it, creating something like a wax helmet Especially entertaining is when the dude blows his load, literally popping the helmet off like a champagne cork.
Mr. Miyagi: Daniel-san, what fuck you doing??? I told you to wax car!
Daniel: Oh hey Mr. Miyagi, Ali showed me a new move called Wax on, Wack off. You´re gonna love it. Watch this...(KASPLOOG!!!)
Mr. Miyagi: you round-eye little asshole, you messed up Dojo mat. Now I show you new move: OKINAWA NUT TORNADO
