god punting 

God punting is essentially a lazy technique religious people use to answer questions. Instead of giving you a solid & factual answer, they chalk it up to "God's doing" or "God's work." It's also used frequently by parents who can't be bothered to do a Google search or open a book, so they tell their curious children (who ask brilliant questions) that "God did it" or "God created that."

Little Bobby- "Dad, why do the stars twinkle?"

Dad- "Because God makes them twinkle. Now run along & let Dad watch his football game."

Little Bobby- "Dad, are you God punting me?"

Pup-punting 

(pup-punt-ing)

Derived from puppy kicking.

When a writer makes their villain perform an unreasonable act that makes no logical sense with no characteristically justified reason, all for the purpose of showing just how evil they are.

Movie Critic 1: I thought the villain was well written, except for the first scene he was in when he just randomly killed his royal jester for dropping a ball while juggling.

Movie Critic 2: I agree, that was a prime example of pup-punting.

sappy putting 

Very poor putting, when you can't make a putt from beyond 5 feet. Named after Ernie Els, for his SAP hat, and his poor putting.

Tom Watson's sappy putting cost him the 2009 Open Championship.

Putting a hat on a hat 

An unnecessary addition to something that was previously working without it--like putting a hat on top of another hat. In comedy, this is used when placing two funny things too close to each other so that they distract from each other.

Bob told a joke on top of another joke. I warned him he was putting a hat on a hat.

putting the pussy on the chain wax 

1930’s, rural US. There was an explosion of infrastructure projects but a lack of workers willing to work in unpredictable weather. Townships impressed convicts onto work gangs, transported and/or forced to do the labor while attached by heavy iron chains. Because of the possibility of sudden, downpours throughout the year, the chains had to be treated with a carnauba extract that sealed the metal against rust and ensured some measure of movement for those tethered together.
This additional weight coupled with the nature of the work made this option unsuitable for some criminals. These men were seen as lesser— cowards or failures, not given the opportunity to leave prison grounds, required to stay in the building and apply the waxy film to the chains. Additionally, those who, during the course of the frequent violent confrontations with others, were injured sufficiently and could not work were also required to stay with the “pussywillows” (a reference to the frail flora which grew in areas serviced by these groups). The idiom developed as a badge of honor, for those who beat others into being removed from the chained gang of workers and stuck with lesser men, rubbing the wax on chains for use in future work assignments. Getting someone placed on the chain-waxing detail was a show of strength for the victor and a mark of inferiority for the loser of any fight, thus ‘putting the pussy on the chain-wax’ became a popular refrain among those bragging of any equivalent conquest

I thought I was about to get the beat down, but I ended up putting the pussy on the chain wax.

Fool beat me at croquet? Never! I put that pussy on the CHAIN WAX.
