The Miter 

In Australian English, the lowest possible criteria, score, or grade required to be reached so as to achieve a Participation certificate or 'On Average' grade esp. in an exam setting or when referring to a specific goal or commitment (what Americans would probably refer to as a "C" grade).

It probably derives from the misheard, rural Australian phrase: "might-a swung at it" (meaning "did it, but didn't do it well") which is already a corruption of the phrase "Micah hung (at) it" referring to the unfortunate, and now much forgotten, Hanging Roo Gala held by the 13th premier of the Jervis Bay Territory in 1877.

"Unfortunately, ScoMo Abbr. Scott Morrison- former prime minister of Australia need only to barely scrape past the Miter for his promises on reducing house prices for Australian homeowners to the public for his Coalition to reward him with a thunderous round of applause" - 'The Australian' (National Newspaper) 16th of April 2019

The Mierdas Touch 

The ability to turn everything one touches to shit.

The phrase is a mash up of the King Midas myth of being cursed that everything he touched turned to gold and mierdas, which is the spanish word for shit.

There is some controversy as to whether the object touched was already a piece of shit with an exceedingly thin veneer of gold plating, where the Mierdas Touch serves only to reveal the subject's true nature versus the Mierdas Touch actually turning any object into shit, even if it was previously unblemished.

The doctor was beloved by all until he was touched the Mierdas Touch, wherein, it came to light that the doctor was constantly drunk, mis-prescribed drugs, and belittled underlings.

checking the meter

Euphemism used to temporarily excuse oneself from a social gathering--presumably to see how much time is left on the (non-existent) parking meter--in order to do drugs.

"I'll be right back, I gotta check the meter."

Plug the meter 

An excuse to get out of a meeting or an appointment when you need to take a dump.

Jon's early morning meeting was iterrupted by a reminder of his nachos & beers the night before. He quickly stood up and said, "Excuse me fellahs. I need to go 'plug the meter.'" Those in the know understood he really just needed to take a crap.
