trickle down

A fairy tale told by Republicans. Based on the idea that if rich people are given Uber-Welfare in the form of tax credits, that they may throw a few crumbs to the rest of us, which somehow benefits us (even though the crumbs we get don't equal the money we've handed over to the rich). see also: absolute bullshit

Made popular under the Reagan Administration, it was his Republican primary opponent George Bush (Version 1.0) who coined the term voodoo economics to describe the principle. This, of course, was before it dawned on Bush that he was a rich bastard himself and should probably just keep his mouth shut.

Called trickle down as an endearing visual of the upper 1% pissing all over the less fortunate.

The best part of Dubya was just a trickle down Barbara's thigh.

down the lane

this is said refering to cutting, a technique usually associated with people known as "emo". This phrase is taken from a joke, saying "make it count" "go down the lane, not across the street" Cutting is when one takes a sharp object (razor usually), when depressed, and cuts their wrist one or more times. saying "go down the lane" is cut down the wrist, not across it. cutting down the wrist is dangerous and even life threatening (if you cut an important artery), compared to across the wrist.

please note* emo is not a label, even though this word often used to describe a certain group of people (and this group is known for cutting more than any other group)

Jenny: "i feel so depressed lately"

Jackie: "Your not going to start cutting are you? Because if you do, make it count! go down the lane not across the street!! ahaha"

*silence*

Jenny: "Your an insensitive bitch and i hate you"

Snail Down!

1. The BEST show on television!

2. A skit on the Eric Andre show where Hannibal Buress dresses in a green bodysuit with a snail-shaped spiral attached to the back. This skit is similar to Bird Up!, except Snail Down! is much better.

Hannibal Buress: "Yo fuck Bird Up! it's time for Snail Down!"
*Bird Up! theme in reverse*

square down

When you're so heated and amped up about confronting someone that you accidentally fuse "square up" and "throw down" together.

I can't wait to square down with Sally after she tried to put me on blast over my vector space model implementation during the meeting.
