take him down a notch

If somebody is taking more than his fair share, or thinks he's all that, it's time "take him down a notch." Put him in his place.

To take someone down a notch, you don't have to insult him. You just beat him at his own game.
I took Mister Hotpants down a notch. His so-called girlfriend gave me her digits.

syquest

Around 1994, a "syquest" was synonymous with a 44 megabyte removable disk, sold by SyQuest Technologies. It made a funny clattering noise when you used it. The company came out with subsequent improvements, such as the "EZ135" 135 MB disk, SparQ 1.0 GB, and SyJet 1.5 GB.

Their competitor, Iomega, succesfully pwned the EZ135 with the smaller, slower, but prettier and cheaper 100 MB Zip drive.
