Vatican Twins 

Interchangeable with the term "Irish Twins," Vatican Twins are two siblings who were born less than 12 months apart. Derived from the perception that Irish Catholics, due to their opposition to birth control, would have many children in short periods of time.
My parents got drunk a lot in the 80s and that's how come my sister and I are Vatican Twins.

The Vatican 

A variation of the Eiffel Tower in which the person in the middle is a young boy, and the two people on the outside are preferably, but not necessarily, priests.
Those two sex offenders teamed up and gave that boy the Vatican.

Australian version of "jumped the shark" - TV show FAIL.

Instead of referring to the waning days of American sit-com Happy Days and the episode where Fonzie jumped a shark, only to see the show sink further and further into irrelevance and low ratings, it refers to the opening episode of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (ABC's) 2009 return of comedy show "The Chaser," where the "edgy" comedians go to the Vatican City to abuse nuns and fly a blimp with foul anti-Catholic slogans past the Pope in the Vatican.

Marked the beginning of the end for the ABC's "The Chaser."
"Jeez, I used to think they were so edgy and funny, but now they've just flown the Vatican."

"'Crikey' used to be really cool until they took on the chk-chk-boom girl... but they really flew the Vatican on that one."

"Yeah, right... from Mo-Toons to toilet-bowl-Jesus. They've flown the Vatican."
