ride the lightning

To be executed by electrocution. Most commonly, the electric chair.

"Ole' boy's gonna ride the lighting for killing that man."

And you, Elaine. You'd die, too, and my curse is knowing I'll be there to see it. That's my punishment, you see? My punishment for letting John Coffey ride the lightning. For killing a miracle of God.

lightning mclean

A name for the ship between Jason Grace and Piper McLean in Rick Riordan's series The Heros of Olympus. Jason is a son of Zeus so he has lightning powers, thus providing the "Lightning" part of Lightning McLean. Piper's last name is McLean, adding that to the ship name. Most people prefer the ship name Jasper for this couple, but Lighning McLean is sometimes thought to be a more fun alternative, as it sounds like Lightning McQueen, the main character in the Disney-Pixar movie Cars.

Fangirl: I love the ship Lightning McLean!!!!

White Lightning differs from true moonshine in that moonshine is usually double or triple distilled, where as white lightning is generally the product of a single distillation. Crystal clear, resembling water.

I just finished boiling off a batch of good ol' White Lightning.
