set the fox to guard the henhouse 

Putting somebody in charge of a job, when they have a conflict of interest. Often used to refer to industry "self-regulation" or to putting an industry insider on the board that regulates that industry, e.g., appointing an executive of Comcast as chairman of the FCC.

Krackhead Security Guard From the Seventh Ring of Hell 

A force to be dealt with, especially if you go to TTHS. Basically, any security guard at that particular high school. They are prone to attack people for these reasons:
1. The sky is blue
2. They're not high anymore
3. That person exists
4. They're stupid
5. Their anus hurts
6. They were on Ye Grand Hunt For Ye Olde Reefer and you just happened to be standing there
7. They feel like s**t, so they want to make you feel like s**t, too
8. Any reason you can think of.
Me: Oh, what a lovely day, la la la la...

Me: *move politely but flip them off behind their backs* What a dickhead...

I say! Prince Harry has been parading the guards rather a lot lately. It just isn't cricket old boy. I think it all started when his great-granny started letting the corgis out.

Hacking the Robot Guards 

1. When censorship is done by way of software manipulation to censor words in chat spaces and websites alike and you are creative enough to hack past the software robots and have your words read accurately without the annoying asterisk substitutions.

2. When ******* becomes sɹǝƃƃᴉN. Pronounced (RE gagging sound INs) Use it in public and get a confused stare instead of retaliation.

3. This term will apply when the right to repair stops software monopolies from building planned obsolescence into all new tech products.
I have been Hacking the Robot Guards because they are all stupid sɹǝƃƃᴉN.
