I got ran over by the combine.

Old school street slang back when cats used to play the numbers in NYC particularly Harlem. It ensured that if any permutation of the number that you selected hit, you would be a winner.
Combinate me, daddy:
8, 2, 1. You got me? 8, 1, 2; 1, 8, 2; 1, 2, 8; 2, 8, 1. I git 'em all?

1.The Combine is a fictional powerful alien race and empire from the first-person shooter computer game Half-Life 2. During the game, it is also referred to as the Universal Union, and as "our benefactors" in propaganda.
2.The Combine is a vast empire spanning multiple parallel universes. The empire is inhabited by an unknown number of sapient species, and appears to be governed by a race of bizarre, artificially evolved Advisors. The Combine expands its empire by invading worlds and enslaving the dominant species to be exploited as it sees fit. By manipulating these inhabitants through methods including bioengineering and implantation, the Combine creates a race of super-soldiers uniquely adapted for the environment of that particular world. This process results in a highly mobile and adaptive military force which is able to respond to any threat and crush any opposition. The reasons behind the Combine's imperialism remain unknown throughout the game.
3.The Combine Advisors are the face of the Combine Empire, suggesting that they are probably the original master race behind the alien empire.
4.The primary military force of the Combine on Earth is the humanoid Combine Overwatch (referred to by Doctor Breen as the "Transhuman arm of the Combine Overwatch"): humans who have been modified into "transhuman" (or "post-human", as referred to by Dr. Kleiner) cyborgs. They are the most frequently encountered foes throughout Half-Life 2. This could also be another possible reason why they are called the Combine, because they are a "combination" of humans and alien technology.

Combines are like acorns, only larger. they can be tripped over so therefore need harvested. (by a brand new combine harvester) they can be a variety of colours, mainly brown or gold though. Combines can be eaten by many animals but usually ones of a small nature. (squirrels and rabbits etc) Combines originate from Trees and acorns. they are a mixture of both
Guy 1 - "Woah! What are those things that resemble acorns but also look slightly like a tree?!"
Guy 2 - "Dude, those are combines? Do you not see that Combine Harvester going through the fields collecting them?"
Guy 1 - "oh, man your right. Combines rock!"

"Combinism?"
"Yeah. I think workers' self-management (socialism), along with more municipal rather than state government (communalism), could perfectly work in a capitalist society."
"Okay, but 'combinism' makes it sound like you worship the bad guys from Half-Life 2."
"What? No way, I'm a Newellite all the way. Worship the Creator not the creation, or however that bi-be-bal thing goes."
