hitting the nail too squarely on the head 

Expressing oneself too directly, too plainly, insensitively.
I once considered buying a birthday card for my dad that made fun of his age. My dad was in his late 60's. It portrayed a man in a car looking in a rear-view mirror with a panicked expression, and seeing the Grim Reaper. The message printed on the mirror was, "Objects shown in mirror may be closer than they appear." I thought it was hilarious, but I thought it was "hitting the nail too squarely on the head." It's implication was too direct.

Nail Cred 

Short for Nail Credit, 'Nail Cred' stems from being nailed in a back alley. The more Nail Cred one racks up, the more one can be nailed in a back alley.

Nail Cred can be given or recieved:
- the reciever of Nail Cred has the potential to be nailed in a back alley by whoever gave it.
- the dispenser of Nail Cred has the potential to nail whoever they gave it to in a back alley.

The act of being nailed in a back alley is commonly referred to as 'cashing in your Nail Cred'.

Note that it does not always have to be announced when you give/have been given some Nail Cred. Simply getting on someone's nerves is usually enough to increase your Nail Cred with them. Indeed, the act of annoying someone is commonly referred to as "Racking up Nail Cred"

EXAMPLES:
Lorenzo: "Saunders has been racking up some serious Nail Cred with me recently. I think it's time he cashed it in"
-----
Adam: You're such a gimp.
Dan: Have some Nail Cred.

Nailed to the ceiling 

When you're both hammered and high at the same time.
There was so much weed and alcohol at that last party, man.
I know, I still feel nailed to the ceiling.
