In the 1890s in San Fransciso there was a popular hooker named Helena who was recognizable in that she always carried a small handbasket instead of a purse or handbag; hence she acquired the nickname "Helena Handbasket". Sailors arriving in the port would often say things like "I'm gonna look up Helena Handbasket tonight" or in announcing their intention of what to do after a night at the bar, "Now I'm going to Helena Handbasket", which by association with the sinful nature of the activity involved, became the mondigreen, "going to hell in a handbasket".

A phrase used by the students at BHS to announce they have nothing to celebrate. Often associated with the schools football team as they finger each other in the ass. May often be shouted as a war cry with the high volume of shooting threats the school has.

Did you see Warren going Nico on the vending machine yesterday after his zero bar got stuck and didn’t dispense? He flipped the machine over, punched a pregnant lady, and spit in a child in a wheelchair. Nobody has seen him since.

hung-go is the opposite of gung-ho...instead of getting sh*t done quick-like, being in a state of hung-go means you turned to a statue, can't get it done - hung-go is hung up on detail, perhaps, and in stasis.

That project was being done gung-ho but now they've lost their mojo, the project is hung-go, not happening.
