I was walking down the street and pulled out my fart placebo to create a stench around me.

Holland Patent 

Small ass town in Upstate New York neighboring Marcy, Stittville, and Barnaveld where shit goes down. Not many people live there, but there's enough to have it's own school district. There's like two main streets with houses on them, and that consists of the town's main population. In the summer, real niggas chill in the tiny ass park by the fire department and sometimes they walk up to Miller jump off the bridge into the scummy ass water below. In the winter, they snowmobile, and well that's about it considering the fact it's well, it's in the middle of scenic nowhere. All in all, the people from the area are pretty nice and chill people.

Guy 1: Hey, you going to Holland Patent?
Guy 2: No? What's to do there? It's in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere.
Guy 1: Yeah, but the niggas there are pretty chill.
Guy 2: I guess. Let's turn up.

reach a plateau 

To reach a point where gradual progress is no longer possible and stagnation is likely, where advancement can only be achieved by a sudden, difficult, and possibly risky leap up to the next level

I'm worried about Joe. Without a college degree, he could reach a plateau in his management career.

Platehands 

Running in a fashion where your hands look like they are superglued to dinner plates.

John Barrowman, who plays Captain Jack in the BBC TV series "Torchwood", when running or being chased by aliens, runs with the palms of his hands flat and facing each other i.e. 'Platehands". This is meant to create the impression that Jack is "dynamic" and an "action hero", but instead looks like he's been involved in a domestic accident and not had time to attend the casualty ward.
