Strike the Pipe

'Striking the Pipe' is the art of masking one's fart with a louder noise to avoid detection, named after Andy Dufresne in the Shawshank Redemption striking the sewer pipe when the thunder hit. Stealthfart.

I really needed to fart, but it was neither the time nor the place, so I waited for an opportunity to STRIKE THE PIPE

Strike while the iron is hot

Act quickly while the opportunity is still available. Blacksmiths working iron by hand heat the iron in a fire to red-hot making it malleable. The Smith removes the iron from the fire and shapes it with blows from a hammer. They need to work quickly before the iron cools. Once the iron is cool, it becomes brittle and the opportunity to hammer it into shape has passed.

If you want the job, you need to strike while the iron is hot.

strike a happy medium

Find the golden path between two different options.

You should groom yourself, but not be obssessed about it. You have to strike a happy medium.

Strike at Karkand

A place people, especially Battlefield 2 players, go to spam grenades at Hotel and be medic and armor whores in order to improve their rank, get badges, medals and increase the length of their e-penises for bragging rights.

"Hey man, let's play a couple of rounds of Strike at Karkand so we can be rank up faster than playing the other 11 maps."
