Raise Hell 

Popularized by East Coast hood rats, specifically from West Virginia, the saying "raise Hell" is usually accompanied by a raising and shaking of the Hawaiian Shaka sign

The slogan is used, and usually yelled, when a rule is broken or other such chaos is caused.

A variation of "raise Hell" exists where the "se" is removed from "raise" and the slogan becomes "rai Hell!"
"Aye, Daniel, we're about to po up on the West!"
"Fuck yeah! Raise Hell!"

Hell Raiser

A trouble-seeking, aggressive person, who can -and does- turn any social situation into an argument, and, subsequently, a fight. Used as an adjective or a noun -for stereotyping purposes- this word could apply to any potential troublemaker.

Sometimes the term is applied to people who purposefully pick on other people seeking for a violent reaction, and the term could be exchanged with the word bully.
That dude is a hell raiser, he just stepped into the bar, started picking on random dudes and suddenly there was a massive fight going on.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
