Internet Pitchfork Mob

The internet version of a torch and pitchfork mob. A group of angry people raging about a problem that rapidly gains supporters, taking over topics, comment sections and product reviews with rage posts. Tramples anyone who doesn't agree mercilessly.

Commonly occurs in response to controversial topics or unpopular actions by corporations and/or the government.
The game's been broken for two days and there's an Internet Pitchfork Mob on the forums and in the amazon reviews!

pitchforks and hammer handles

That's what we would say during a downpour.
It's raining "pitchforks and hammer handles". Maybe that was just a local Pennsylvania Dutch area thing.

Polish Pitchfork

The premier, unstoppable wrestling move where the athlete holds out both arms, bent at 90 degrees with fists held upright, projects body vertically and with a turn so as to aim the head towards the stomach, one fist to the face, and the other fist towards the gonads. When successful, the match is over.
As Captain Insano was bewildered after being hit by a piledriver, Kowalski ended the match by executing a Polish Pitchfork that left an uncomfortable Captain Insano icing his testes.

The one phrase which states quite clearly, the sarcastic way to finish an argument against something.
Said sarcastically or angrily, more or less, with a short burst of temper .
If someone doesn't like your opinion on anything, pretty much, this is said in huge retort to that, and pretty much defines your strong position to it.

pitchforking

To fall asleep.
To knock out.
To "hit the hay" like a farmer's pitchfork.
Guy: Dude, you wanna go party?
Dude: Naw, man, I'm pitchforking already.

Means to go for the ogre hunt.
Sometimes misinterpreted as courage, "to take the torches and the pitchforks" is not an act of heroism, nor bravery.
It's rather an act of desperation with the only motivation being to engage sexual activity with a very ugly individual, that would often be confused with an ogre.
Kevin: What happened to Brad at the party last night?
Martin: After 2 am he lost his standards and took the torches and the pitchforks
Kevin: damn man I would never do that (crosses his index and middle-finger behind the back)
Martin: I know! That Katia was a real Ogre!

Devils Pitchfork

Like a devils threesome except with 3 guys and 1 girl.
Brad and Kevin’s friend Matt showed up, so our devils three-sum turned into a devils pitchfork.
