I'm like Poncio Pilates

On the bible there is a passagein Mattew that tells a episode from the Judgement of jesus Christ :
Pilate Washes his Hands
23“Why?” asked Pilate. “What has He done wrong?” But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify Him!” 24When Pilate saw that he was accomplishing nothing, but that instead a riot was breaking out, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd. “I am innocent of this man’s blood, he said. “You shall bear the responsibility.” 25All the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!”…

So, in another words as well as pilatos did an said we can see by the context that he was with tied hands ,we can use the name of him to explain that we are with Tied hands too so ,instead of sayin' " i can't do that ",i'm with tied hands "or i'm unable this moment ",we can use another form of sayin' : 'I'm like Poncio pilates ". it is good for those that understand the bible .

I like the reference to "Peat Bog" -- excellent description for the bog-like circus this has turned into.

Stop i like girls

A phrase often used by closet homosexuals to maintain their facade to society.

Higher usage of the phrase is indicative of increased levels of gay.

Julien: Stop I like girls
Julien's mum: I really wished I hadn't raised a faggot

Full like a howitzer

As early as the 18th century, a drunkard was "as full as a cannon" or even a howitzer, alluding to the enormous mass of explosive charge contained in such a gun. It was only in the course of the 19th century that the howitzer was added as a reinforcement of this idiom.

Look at her, she is full like a howitzer...
