When all else fails, when mere brute force is not enough, it is time to grit your teeth and GIVE 'ER.

GIVE 'ER can apply to anything from jamming the throttle on your big block wide-open to you and the boys putting a bit of muscle into whatever misguided task you've drunkenly committed to.

GIVE 'ER can be applied to nearly any situation where finesse is no longer a viable option.
You'll probably never get that Audi stuck in snow with those Hakkas on it, but if you really, really bottom it out on sheer ice or some s--t, I say just DROP TEH CLUTCH AND GIVE 'ER.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
