From Hell

A phrase taken from the last of the three letters sent to Scotland Yard police from the infamous serial killer "Jack the Ripper." It is especially famous for its gruesome contents: a letter to the police chief and half of a kidney of one of his victims (the letter claims he ate the other half).
The text of the letter reads:

From hell.

Raising hell

Usually occurring on a Friday night after a long work week, this term refers to driving around with your friends doing absolutely nothing because you aren't old enough to get into bars and there's nothing better to do 'round these parts. This activity is most common among teens from rural communities and small towns who mislabel it as "raising hell" to make their lives sound less dull and more badass. Though "raising hell" is often more boring than badass, it is sometimes known to include SERIOUS badass activities, such as loitering, underage drinking, running red lights, and even swerving a couple feet into a cornfield just to be an asshole!
In the big city, it's called "driving around aimlessly" and it makes you boring. In the country, it's called "raising hell" and it makes you BADASS.
