take a bullet

1) To intentionally receive a bullet that was supposed to be for someone else.

2) To be able to hold any consequences for protecting someone's personality, values and interests.

1) The criminal was about to shoot my girlfriend but I stood in front of her and took the bullet instead.

2) My anti-anime dad found an eroge game at my younger sister's bedroom and now judges her as a "worthless daughter". So I come up and take a bullet for her by explaining to my dad that if he takes away all the anime, manga, eroge and specially her friends whom she made thanks to her interests and values, she won't be the same anymore and will be someone she isn't. I also added the eroge game was mine and that I just asked her to hold it for me.

dodged a bullet

When you used to think someone was attractive years ago, but for some reason, things did not work out; and when you see them recently, you see that they are a total wreck.

Wow, I used to think she was hot, but man, she has 2 kids from 2 different baby daddies now and her body is a wreck. I might have dodged a bullet there.

single bullet doctrine

The doctrine that in diplomacy or the international political field assassination can be a very effective means of avoiding war. Formally coined as a phrase in an opinion piece by journalist John Stanton in October 2002.

The coinage is a reference to a comment regarding the possibility of a war against Saddam Hussein in Iraq. In a press conference Ari Fleischer, the White House spokesman, said: "The cost of a one-way ticket is substantially less than the cost of war. The cost of one bullet, if the Iraqi people take it on themselves, is substantially less than that.

While dealing with a tyrannical dictatorship, I would support the single bullet doctrine.

Bullet-Proof Moustache

Bullet-Proof Moustache: (n.) Such a thick regular moustache that it becomes literally bulletproof. Perfect for deflecting headshots.

Chuck Norris is one of the few in the world who could grow a bullet-proof moustache. Too bad no one dares to shoot at him.

Texas Bullet Train

n; When students travel from their homes to college on interstates or highways and form high speed caravans to prevent getting pulled over. This is common on I-35 with students traveling to the University of Oklahoma.

Ex 1:
Driving down I-35, Driver 1 passes drivers 2, 3 and 4 going 85 mph. drivers 2, 3, and 4 all speed up and follow Driver 1 at the same speed, thus resulting in a caravan traveling faster than the norm or speed limit.

Ex 2:
Tom: "Hey that guy is going 15 over, follow him!"
Collin: "Dude, I don't want to get pulled over."
Tom: "No worries, more people will join and we'll have a Texas Bullet Train!"
Collin: "Heck yes, Dallas to OKC in an hour!"
*High Five*
