Stealing All The Sweet And Sour

To excel. To succeed beyond the norm.
"Another home run for Miguel Cabrera? That guy is stealing all the sweet and sour."

The droppings are steaming 

The 'droppings are steaming' or indeed any general description of the droppings temperature/circumstances as an analogy to any situation. It is an informal phrase very rarely used in writing, due to its reactionary nature. The idiom originates from a passage in Lord of the Flies where a character, Jack, is hunting a pig and notes with some satisfaction that the droppings he has just encountered are steaming. He is pleased by this, as it means a pig must have been there recently.
"My dudes, come quick, the droppings are steaming."

"Not going to lie, you seriously froze the droppings there."

"The droppings are in a super heated suspension of plasma my guys! This is good."

"You know the droppings just plummeted."

"Compatriots, listen close for I have ascertained with great happiness that the droppings have an effervescence of vapour ,which I can only assume is the gaseous dihydrogen monoxide, which is a cause for great celebration."
