mano y mano

Yet another humerous film quip has sailed over the heads of the gibbering, slack jawed, troglodytes to enter the vernacular, sans humor.
"mano y mano" is Spanish for hand AND hand. Used for comedic effect, to imply mental simplicity, in several films. (Other variants include "mono y mono", Spanish for monkey and monkey = malapropism el mejor)
("MANO A MANO" is Spanish for hand TO hand - combat...
This is the actual phrase that is so often mutilated)

"He dun call me ig'nint!"
"Reeallly, ignorant of what? Where would one start."

Yo, bring it, you and me buddie! mano y mano, I' take you down!

Endor Brake Manoeuvre

To brake abruptly as the target of a high speed chase, as to force your pursuers to vastly overshoot you, ram one another, or collide with an oncoming object.

The phrase “Endor Brake” comes from a popular example of the manoeuvre’s use, in Star Wars Episode VI, Return of the Jedi.

“How did you escape the FBI so easily?”

“It was simple, I gave them the old Endor Brake Manoeuvre!”

Jean-Paul Manoeuvre

The act of consuming a croissant without crumbling a single atom of crumb. Throughout the period of enlightenment this was considered an impossible act by mere mortals. However, in the year 1869, frenchman Jean-Paul Bordeaux brought the human race to a new horizon of the art of croissant-eating (croissantology) when he consumed an entire croissant in one bite; completely without crumbing. One can draw great parallels between the Jean-Paul Manoeuvre and the more modern "Grape Fruit Technique" due to the similar wrist movements whilst performing both manoeuvres.

Jean Valjean (whilst in the possession of a croissant): "Do you think there is a way of eating this without crumbling?"
Mathieu: "Hell no mon ami! The only way is to perform the The Jean-Paul Manoeuvre."

Manon

Manon is an elegant french girl. I like to see her walk to me, because her smile seeing me is the thing that makes my day. Her perfume is everything, I should ask her what it is. Manon is caring for everyone, and sometimes she even forgets to care for herself. Her hair is always straight but I like it curly, she is tanned so much in summer and has freckles in winter. Her skin follows the seasons and I would like mine to do the same. I envy Manon because she handles everything, without seeming to care about her problems. Manon is my best friend and these little things I like are making her the best one. Manon is my best friend because she envies no one and stays herself.
