To "cry wolf", as in the children's story "The Boy Who Cried Wolf", meaning to persistently raise the alarm about a non-existent threat, with the implication that the person who cried wolf would not be taken seriously should a real emergency take place, which causes them trouble should ever have a legitimate need.

An excuse for why you can't go after being invited somewhere.

Prison slang for aggressive taunting. The Cabbie Homicide's writer as a teenager did a very dark form of this as he chronicled in An Eye In Shadows as he was able to also back it up too. Kealan Patrick Burke in the response of getting freight-trained had pulled a response like this. And this is his actual e-mail where he was challenging the controversial author to a fight -- "Why don't you ask Bram the Talking Wonder Dog about The Cabbie Homicide" is easy the taunt of the 2010s as it had him reminded of old shame. On twitter the war between them had exchanges of ethnic slurs toward Irish and ethnic slurs towards Italians as guinea was thrown as Taig was used on the wordpress blog and the tumblr had the tag "Bog Irish Pig." He did a Blurb in Italian to Burke where he implied Burke was queerbait.
