mano y mano

Yet another humerous film quip has sailed over the heads of the gibbering, slack jawed, troglodytes to enter the vernacular, sans humor.
"mano y mano" is Spanish for hand AND hand. Used for comedic effect, to imply mental simplicity, in several films. (Other variants include "mono y mono", Spanish for monkey and monkey = malapropism el mejor)
("MANO A MANO" is Spanish for hand TO hand - combat...
This is the actual phrase that is so often mutilated)

"He dun call me ig'nint!"
"Reeallly, ignorant of what? Where would one start."
Yo, bring it, you and me buddie! mano y mano, I' take you down!

Magnolia (name)

She’s insecure but that’s what everyone loves about her. She’s relatable and is so easy to talk to. She doesn’t talk much but if you start a convo with her about something she cares about she will talk for hours. She loves being called beautiful but if she feels you are calling her beautiful just to get with her she will ditch you in a heartbeat. She falls easily and takes forever to recover from a heartbeat. She is awkward and clumsy around you at first but if you somehow find a way into her heart she will be your favorite person. Never be too clingy.

MacnoWeenie

One who has an untamed obsession with the Apple product line. These people can turn a simple answer into an hour long dissertation about the superiority of iProducts, often leaving the poor sole who initiated the inquiry of said iProduct frantically searching for a way to change the topic. Suggesting that Apple's are only good for eating, will result in offending these types of people greater than placing a PC loaded with Microsoft products onto their desk.

Jean-Paul Manoeuvre

The act of consuming a croissant without crumbling a single atom of crumb. Throughout the period of enlightenment this was considered an impossible act by mere mortals. However, in the year 1869, frenchman Jean-Paul Bordeaux brought the human race to a new horizon of the art of croissant-eating (croissantology) when he consumed an entire croissant in one bite; completely without crumbing. One can draw great parallels between the Jean-Paul Manoeuvre and the more modern "Grape Fruit Technique" due to the similar wrist movements whilst performing both manoeuvres.
Jean Valjean (whilst in the possession of a croissant): "Do you think there is a way of eating this without crumbling?"
Mathieu: "Hell no mon ami! The only way is to perform the The Jean-Paul Manoeuvre."
