hope and go 

It's slang for a vehicle, (car or truck) that runs very poorly. It's functionality is extremely questionable. It's likely to be an older dilapidated car that requires a ton of maintenance, due to age or lack of care. Performing maintenance has been procrastinated on - big time. It could be a gift horse given to you second hand. It was free or handed over as charity. The owner refuses to properly take care of it except for Fuel and topping off the oil. It's secretly adored for all it's glory. The downside: One never knows when the vehicle may break down. Basically when the Hope and Go must be driven, the owner stresses out while attempting to start the heap. Praying that the vehicle makes it to their destination. Therefore, the Driver describes their heap of a vehicle as a "Hope and Go" because they just hope it goes... originally, it's slang from New Jersey.
Vehicle owner: "Sorry I'm late ... please tell me there's some food left. My Hope and Go was bein' a Biach."

Friend #1: (Joking tone of voice) "Grab a plate - you'd be late, even if you had a race car."

Vehicle owner: (Sarcastic tone) "That hurts . At least I don't look like I was ran over and left for dead."

Friend #1: "Hey - F*#^ off. You should put that thing cout of its misery - its obviously suffering 'cuz it has to deal with you."

Ignore it and hope it goes away 

Yeah, see, I tried that for the first 10 years but here we are.
Hym "You see, if you ignore it and hope it goes away not only am I not going to not go away but I'm also commit even nore so to doing it. Your mistake was including the mentally retarded cripple. The ambiguity is gone now and I just won't accept any outcome that doesn't involve one of two things.... And we all know what those things are. I'm sure you're tired of hearing it at this point. I'm tired of saying it. I'm tired in general. I've been up all night. I got a good one for you when I wake up though. You're going to like it."

I hope the war goes on forever, you get drafted, and fucking die. 

One of the most hateful insults. You're telling the person that you hope the war in Iraq and Afghanistan go on forever so they can get drafted and die.

Popularly used in The Office.
Josh: I hope something bad happens to you.

Dave: I hope the war goes on forever, you get drafted, and fucking die.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
