Bully special is a type of cocktail that became a favourite of UK gamblers in the late 90's to either celebrate winning - or drown sorrows when losing. It consists of 3 parts scotch, 3 parts Absynth, 2 parts pineapple juice and 1 part rum. It is quite vile in taste, expensive and very bad for the consumers health. They are sometimes served lit on fire for dramatic affect.
Ian went to the bar and asked Dave what he fancied, Dave said come on then, get me a Bully Special. They both ended up in the local jail later that night!

A vehicle listed as a "mechanic's special" on craigslist appears to be, at first glance, a remarkable deal. A mechanic's special is usually a vehicle listed far below its blue book value, with a few minor issues outlined that any competent backyard mechanic can easily diagnose and fix. This problems are usually referred to only in the vaguest of terms, such as a "clunking sound coming from the transmission" or "hissing sound from the radiator."
Of course, these problems turn out to be much more severe - such as a blown headgasket, thrashed transmission, detonated cylinder, and the like. The odometer reading is often conspicuously absent from the reading. The owner will often feign ignorance about vehicles in hopes of getting rid of it at a good price, but actually are often competent car people themselves.
The only valid use for a mechanic's special is as a parts vehicle, and only then once the owner has been talked down to a reasonable price.

Half-assed repairs and maintenance by landlords to save money such as painting over electrical outlets and dead insects instead of hiring a cleaner and then a painter.
We had to evacuate the building and are living on the street. The building was condemned. The electrical work in the building was a Landlord Special.

A place reserved for child molestors, those who talk at the theater, and who cancel short running yet shiny TV series. See Firefly.
If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater... remember, a special hell - Shepherd Book

In Philadelphia dive bars, a shot of whiskey and a beer sold together at a discount price; most commonly a can of Paps Blue Ribbon and a shot of Jim Beam for $3-5.
Philly lore is that the Citywide Special started at Bob and Barbara’s on the South St in the 1990s, where “The Special” was Beam and PBR for $3.
