hammer-down protocol

Is a fictional, scorched earth code-name where in the U.S. military decides to cut it's losses and destroys, through carpet bombing, the U.S.'s own territories and/or cities that are deemed lost to enemy forces. The term was first used in the movie Cloverfield, followed by the video-game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

In COD:MW2 the Hammer-Down Protocol is a scorched earth policy through indiscriminant, large scale carpet bombing of the city of D.C. do to the heavy number of Russians in the area.

It is very similar in application and purpose in Cloverfield. However, it is used for the reason of an all-or-nothing attempt to destroy the monster, as well as the small parasites that had no-doubt flooded Manhattan.

Down by Law

According to Jim Jarmusch, director of the film by this name: "Down by law, at the time in the mid-80s, was kind of in use on the streets as meaning a very close connection with somebody. If somebody was down by law, they were close to you or you would protect them. I know that, earlier, in prison slang, if somebody was down by law, and they got out before you, they would contact your family or look after people outside if you needed them to. So it meant something very close or a code. I really liked the contradiction of that, being something that sounds like being oppressed by the law, which of course under that condition is where the slang came from. So, I liked that contradiction of it. And I liked it also in terms of the film being contradictory in that they are oppressed by the law but they also become down by law with each other."

Jimmy ain't gonna rat on me. We're down by law.

brain donor

Extremely stupid person, someone who acts as if they've already donated their brain to science--before they die. Clueless. Dumb as a rock.

OK, what brain donor thought it would be a good idea to leave beer in the freezer overnight??
