A threesome with two land whales, where you avoid getting trapped in the bunker (middle) & jump out before dying from asphyxiation.
Man, I almost died last night... Drunk I was, bunker jumping two gordas when the flubber sucked me in; breathless I narrowly escaped!
"Jumping the broom" is an informal marriage or "partnership." It comes from peasant or gypsy marriages before the idea of a "civil marriage" (going before a justice of the peace to vow marriage oaths) came about in Britain with the Marriage Act 1836 - as an alternative to a church marriage.
The concept started in France as <i>mariage sur le croix d'un epee</i> ("marriage on the cross of a sword") which a maudit anglais (Englishman) translated from a French book as "leaping over a broomstick." The original concept comes from ancient military weddings - when a soldier marries one of the women who hung around soldiers back in the day:
"A sword being laid down on the ground, the parties to be married joined hands, when the corporal or serjeant of the, company repeated these words: <b>Leap rogue, and jump whore, And then you are married for evermore.</b> Whereupon the happy couple jumped hand in hand over the sword, the drum beating a ruffle; and the parties were ever after considered as man and wife."
My old Cajun stepdad took me aside after I brought the girl I just proposed marriage to home to meet him and Mama, and asked "You can't just go jump the broom?", so I'm here to tell you this expression is for real and old farts like him were still using it.

Acting as a wingman. The phrase comes from the military; jumping on top of an active grenade will kill you but save your comrades around you as a result of it. It's a selfless act for your buddy.
Hey check out those two chicks sitting at the bar. It's a shame only one of them looks decent. Man, will you please jump grenade for me? I did it for you last time.
