1. A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge who heroically ordered Paris Hilton back to jail for probation violation and made her cry like the irresponsible, immature, vacuous, and spoiled whore she truly is. He is also a nominee and virtual shoe-in for the upcoming Ruler of Earth elections.
2. The act of executing a maneuver designed to own, burn, diss, humiliate, serve, etc an individual in an emotionally incisive manner with the intent to cause shame, embarrassment and loss of social standing. The act of giving someone their just deserts, their comeuppance. Bonus points are awarded for higher degrees of extravagance, public awareness, opportune timing, and justice delivered.

2. "Dang, girl! He just pulled a Michael Sauer on yo ass! You is so burned!"

Arguably the most popular and coveted handgun in the world. Used by countless Law Enforcement and Military Special Operations units in the world (including the British SAS and US Navy SEALs (P226) and US Secret Service Presidential Detail P228, P229)).
Slide not likely to rupture and break operator's jaw (like Beretta model 92s) or suffer severe Case Neck Blowouts (like so many cheap Glocks do).
Popular for their "To hell and Back" reliability.
