String em up and shiv their ankles 

To "string" somebody up and "shiv their ankles" was used as a threat during the 1540-60s in many parts of Eastern Arabia. When somebody thought their slaves were being abducted during the night, they would threaten the suspect with a "good ol ankle shiving." However, very few instances have been recorded where the person actually went through with the stringing and shiving. It was much easier to just shoot them. Now-a-days this phrase is used on the computer voice-chat program "Discord." When a person wishes for another person to be "banned" or "kicked" from a Discord "server," that person declares that the moderator(s) or owner(s) should "string em up and shiv their ankles," essentially, "Ban this scrublord from the discord because he is stupid."
anklefetish68: Man this guy won't shut the hell up. I think we should string em up and shiv their ankles. Anyone else?
moderator: Good idea, let's do it.

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!
