Until the trust fund runs out

As long as I am able

I don't have Internet access of my own, but I'm gonna keep stealing wi-fi from my neighbor until the trust fund runs out.

tie goes to the runner

In baseball, if the runner is tagged at the same moment he reaches the base, he is considered safe.

In everything else, the benefit of the doubt goes to the one who finishes with the momentum.

June and Li are both super hot, but Li looks extra good right now in that green sweater, so...tie goes to the runner; I'm asking Li out.

alien robot zombies

Something that loses its credibility and/or enjoyment because of over-embellishment.

(1) He had everyone believing he was the President's brother, but the more he talked the more alien robot zombies his story got.

(2) The first book in the series had great a storyline, but now it's just alien robot zombies.

gank

Steal something, but generally in a harmless way.

Dude, I ganked a beer from your fridge.

Lemme gank a dollar, so I can get a pop. (The use of "gank" instead of "borrow" implies that there will be no payback.)

Jimmy Diesel

Slang for a two-cycle diesel engine manufactured back in the day by GM Diesel (later known as Detroit Diesel, later known as MTU) -- "Jimmy" being casual slang for "GM."

These newfangled engines may be better for the environment, but them Jimmy Diesels were tough as hell.

idiokey

A combination of "idiot" and "monkey" (synonym: monkiot). Refers to someone given no authority or autonomy (treated as if they are "doing a job any monkey could do"), and who therefore feels no responsibility to make good decisions or deviate in any way from what they have been told to do.

I got my boss's boss to sign my expense report, but the idiokey from finance refused to pay it until my own boss returned from vacation and signed it.
