Nuke the fridge is a phrase used to refer to the moment in a film series that is so incredible that it lessens the excitement of subsequent scenes that rely on more understated action or suspense, and it becomes apparent that a certain installment is not as good as a previous installments, due to ridiculous or low quality storylines, events or characters. Simply, "to nuke the fridge" means to essentially disappoint fans of a series by making a poor quality installment.
This phrase is derived by a scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull when the hero miraculously survives a nuclear blast by getting inside a lead-lined fridge and being blasted miles away.

The original Batman franchise really "nuked the fridge" when they casted Arnald Swartzenager as Mr. Freeze and gave him a billion ice-related puns.

A term used to describe an extremely hot babe with a sexually voracious appetite. Derived from the term nuke, which implies extreme heat, and the term box, which is one of the many slang terms used to refer to a woman's vagina.
Warning: Even though the babe in question may be extremely hot, sexually desirable, and willing to put out, the use of the term nuke also implies a wantonly destructive force, thus creating the subtle implication that she may be mentally and/or emotionally unstable, unpredictable, and could blow at any moment.
