Lion's paw

Jamaican greeting common among Rastas and locals of Jamaica. The salutation represents the strength of the lion of Judah. The fingers are curled like the paw of a lion and then interlocked with the other person's fingers and shook for at least 7 seconds.

Under the Cat's Paw

Very drunk, specifically on gin.

A result of the "gin craze," British government tried to stem the flow of gin with prohibitive taxes and rules, which drove the gin scene underground during 18th-century England. Exploiting a loop-hole in these new regulations, where a bartender couldn't be prosecuted for serving gin if the police couldn't be sure exactly which bartender served it, wooden plaques shaped like a black cat (hence "Old Tom gin") were mounted on the outside wall of some pubs. These cat plaques had little paws, and under the cat's paw was a slot to put money in and a small lead tube. From the tube would come a shot of gin, poured by the bartender, who remained anonymous from inside the pub.

Today, "under the cat's paw," simply means to be very drunk on gin, perhaps to great excess, as that is where most of these gin-crazed bar-patrons would have spent most of their time.
"I'm going to be under the cat's paw tonight!"

"Billy, if you don't slow down on those martinis, you'll be under the cat's paw in no time!"

"I can't remember a thing- I was absolutely under the cat's paw!"

Monkey's Paw

A "monkeys paw" is when you're taking a shower and you're out of wash cloths Once you get to washing your ass, you soap up your hand and get down there to clean it all out with that soapy bare hand. You're then left with a clean ass but in return, no matter how much you clean that hand, it feels dirty for the rest of the day.
