spirit of the law

An alcoholic beverage that is used to bribe a government official to "cut you some slack" or "look the other way" during an inspection, audit, or investigation.
A classic "spirit of the law" joke, from an old 90's-era "Hagar the Horrible" cartoon:
IRS auditor: Hello, Mr. Horrible; I'm from the IRS, and I'm here to audit your income tax return.
Hagar (calling over his shoulder into the house): Bring me out a bottle of my best wine, Helga!
IRS auditor (making a huge huffy show of shocked indignance): You DARE try to BRIBE ME with a BOTTLE OF WINE?!??
Hagar (with cheerful imperturbability): Make that TWO bottles, Helga!
IRS auditor: (smiles broadly and closes his eyes in smug satisfaction --- hey, HE was no more morally-upstanding than the NEXT corrupt official; he just needed Hagar to "up the ante" a bit to get him to "take a soft approach" in his investigation! :P)

Spirit Bound

A form of subtle cosplay. When the street clothing you choose to wear is in the same vein of a beloved character. The goal is to capture the spirit or essence of the character with common ready to wear fashion. This can include color scheme, pattern, texture or identifying accessories. Only a true fan will identify your passion for a beloved character. This is used in instances when one does not feel comfortable in costume, where full cosplay is not socially acceptable or where there are restrictions on costume wearing; such as Disney. It is similar to Disney Bound and Disney Bounding but is opened to all Media Genre; including, movies, games, and anime.
Today I am spirit bound to Yoshi. I’m wearing orange sneakers, white pants and shirt, green jacket and a red hat.

spirit summer

An extended summer day. Referenced in the first Game of Thrones book, chapter 52; John (Snow). The description of a lingering summer. An autumn day that feels hotter than usual often referred to in the USA as an Indian Summer.
The day was hotter than usual and the wall seemed to weep.

It is awfully hot for October. It's a spirit summer for sure!

The Spirit of Thanksgiving

The Spirit of Thanksgiving is when one member wears a pilgrim hat, and the other wears an Indian headband. Then one of the members stuffs their asshole with stuffing and tops it off with gravy. The other member then proceeds to eat out all of the stuffing and gravy while listing the things they're thankful for. The member with their asshole being eaten has to gobble like like a turkey while being eaten out.
Dave: "Dude so I heard you went to Jessica's house last weekend! How was that?"

Jim: "It went well bro, I really showed her the spirit of Thanksgiving."
