samaritans 

Helpline that you can phone when you are at risk of ending it all. An ear to talk to when you have things bothering you that you couldnt tell another living soul.
Person answers phone "hello this is the Samaritans how can we help?"
Desperate person answers "Hello, my world is falling apart"
Then proceeds to spill their "guts" to a complete stranger about how fucked up their life is....
Feels a bit better afterwards and can see things in a different light.

Good Samaritan 

Another name for someone who selflessly helps others.
This term originates from the parable told by Jesus in the Bible about a Samaritan (a man from a country called Samaria) who helps out a Jewish man who is ambushed by theives and left to die. This was all the more selfless of an act considering that the Jewish and Samaritan people in those times usually did not associate with each other. This story was told in response to a question concerning the scriptural mandate to "love thy neighbor as thyself". According to the story, a man asked "Who is my neighbor?" and the moral of the parable is that everyone is really your neighbor (meaning you should help anyone you see in need).
Today a Good Samaritan is usually someone who goes out on a limb to help others, even if they are complete strangers.
Ex. An anonymous good Samaritan rescued a child from the river yesterday, but left the area before he could be thanked.

bad samaritan 

When someone intervenes in a situation and makes things worse. For example, you are in a store and it's suddenly taken over by robbers. Instead of surrendering or stopping the robbers, you offer to help them rob the store. That would be a bad samaritan, a very bad samaritan.
"It appears the suspect acted as some kind of bad samaritan."

Killer Samaritan 

Someone who trying to be helpful, causes more trouble.
He's such a Killer Samaritan, when he came over to finish our basement for free, he accidently broke a waterline. Now it's flooded.

samaritan 

A Catholic school in Preston, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia with a high Muslim population to the point where the actual Catholics don't go to school on Islamic holidays due to the decline in attendence.
A school where the dodgy teachers only last 3 months, to get some experience in their first year out of teacher's college, before having a mental breakdown and moving on to greener pastures (even if they are rolling across them in straightjackets).
A school which spends money on things like self promotion when there is nothing of value to promote (see the recently decommissioned purple and yellow "Samaritan tram" as a case in point). Despite the fact that the school oval is an oblong and the basketball court has no basketball rings.
A school which spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lift for disabled students, got the archbishop in to bless it, and saw the only disabled student leave the school.
A school that tried to enforce uniform standards and got the response "Sir, are you trying to make this like a rich school or sumfink?" No child, that's impossible...

Samaritan, pretension is our aim!
"Come on boys, let's have a kick on the oblong..."

"I'm not getting on that fuckin' tram, leh"

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.
