you jump, I jump, Jack

A phrase referring to the movie Titanic starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. When Rose (Winslet) is getting ready to go into the water as the Titanic is sinking, she famously exclaims to Jack (DiCaprio), "You jump, I jump, Jack!"
It is a saying that implies that you have faith or trust in someone if they are willing to do it with you.

I'm all right Jack! 

(originally: "Fuck you, Jack, I'm all right!!" - described the bitter dismay of sailors ("jacks") returning home after wartime in the Navy to find themselves not treated as patriots or heroes, but ignored / sneered at by a selfish, complacent, get-ahead society - phrase was subsequently toned down for acceptable general use.)
Attitude of "every man for himself, survival of the fittest, devil take the hindmost", ... but also, that all the possible advantages (however gained), success (however won) and satisfaction (whatever the cost to others) belong to me first!" Narrow-focus, narrow-gauge pseudo-Darwinian selfishness glorified as a sensible philosophy of society and life.
People who find it hard to say "I'm all right Jack!" outright, say to anyone they find no longer useful: "I'm trying to get my life in order right now, so can you respect that, please?!..." (just before they throw themselves laughing into more fun and merry chaos!)

Union Jack 

Commonly used but incorrect name for the Union Flag of the United Kingdom.

It should only be called the Union Jack when being flown at sea.

When flying from part of a boat at sea "Union Jack"
Yank tourist "Ooooh look, the Union Jack".

Infinitely more intelligent Brit "Pillock, it's called the Union Flag".

apple jack defense 

The apple jack defense is responding to a question with "it just is".
"You know how in the Apple Jack commercials when asked how the cereal is good even though it doesn't taste like apples the response is "it just is". That's the main precept behind the Apple Jack defense, which MIKE constantly employs."
