grab capitalism by the balls

(as a pun variation on the Ford F-150 commercial punch line 'grab life by the horns'), this is one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.

as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, IMHO as a history major, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern Western WASP capitalism, people like Thomas Jefferson, John Locke and Thomas Hobbes.

Mall Grab

The Mall Grab.

Like many things in life, you are told not to do and sometimes it is for the best. We should continue to value the legacy of skating and carry on with the joke. The history behind the Mall Grab is simply a great amount of “poser” skaters who have no intent on getting on the board and shredding. Any real skater knows that he will mall grab by accident every now and again.

The mall rat scene at that point was ridiculous,” Sean Gallagher said of working at a shopping mecca in 2002 located in an upper class New Jersey township.

“A lot of those kids would carry boards around for fashion… It’s like the guy who just carries the guitar around and doesn’t play it,” he said.

Dude #1: “Damn bro, my coffee is taking mad long bro. I hope I don’t spill it on my new thrasher shirt, I paid 60 bucks bro..”
Dude #2: “Man stop being a lil p##### ### ##### and by the way learn how to hold your board. “MALL GRAB!” See you at the park..
