One tactical nuke can ruin your whole day.
Poor guy. He was trying to climb over a mountain pass when his engine quit. Didn't have enough altitude to make the turn. Ruined his whole day.

The erection that sometimes occurs in males during death, especially death by asphyxia. Possibly caused by some combination of:
1. Random erotic thoughts as the consciousness starts to fade out
2. Increased blood pressure as the body tries to get more oxygen to the brain.
Especially common in hanging because gravity pulls the blood into the lower half of the body and because the noose constricts the external carotid artery; the body responds by increasing the blood pressure in an attempt to keep blood flowing to the brain.
Damage to the neck can also trigger an ejaculation.
A similar phenomenon may occur in the genitals of women who die slowly, but is less obvious.

Poor Jimmy hanged himself over the cyber bullying. He got angel lust -- just look at that boner!
Danny was just trying auto-erotic asphyxiation. He got what he wanted -- some real angel lust -- but he must have blacked out while he was cumming. Now his family has to bury him. What a shame!

Literally, to kiss (British slang).
Often includes activities that would be included in "making out", e.g., necking.
One wag defined it as "anything you can do with a married woman in her husband's presence." (This assumes a 'monogamous' marriage rather than an "open" one.)

Literal sense: Ginny just grabbed me, dragged me into a broom closet, and snogged the life out of me.
More general: Helen and Joe were sitting on the couch, snogging. She left lipstick all over him from the collar up. I swear his hands were inches from her tits. And Fred (Helen's husband) just sat there, watching the game on TV, completely ignoring it.

To upload or download data, usually at a high rate of speed. Often used in slang to refer to illicitly gathering data -- that is, theft of somebody else's private data, trade secrets, etc.
I downloaded a new app, and it slurped all my data to some site in Outer Mongolia. Now some hacker knows my birthday, Social Security number and all my credit cards.

Someone who is judgment-proof, having no assets or regular income.
From the saying, "You can't get blood from a turnip." If you sue a "turnip," you will probably win, and get a judgment, but you will have no way to collect on it.

Accept sexual favors in exchange for something
This is most often used in regard to a favor: one party does something requiring time and/or effort for the other, and when asked how much it will be, says, "I'll take it out in trade". Or vice versa: having done something for another person, asking for compensation, and the other says, "You can take it out in trade."
"In trade" sounds like a form of prostitution (exchanging sex for something else), but it usually used humorously and in context of an existing relationship. The meaning is that the person is doing it as part of the relationship rather than expecting to be paid money or goods or whatever.
