Yeah, it was a movie, but a movie whose title was playing off of an already established expression. No different, really, than from "Live and let Die," "Nightmare before Christmas," or "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels." |

Quoted:
"your point is mute..." "parting shot" versus parathian shot. From Wiki "Parthian shot" is not to be confused with the phrase "parting shot". The first official record of the use of the phrase "parting shot" was by John McCleod, surgeon on board His Majesty's ship Alceste contained in "A narrative of a Voyage to the Yellow Sea" (1818): The consort, firing a parting shot, bore up round the north end of the island, and escaped. In 1828 records in "The Friend, or Advocate of Truth" (a publication of The Religious Society of Friends) used the phrase in the figurative sense, being the first officially to do so on official records: I think it would be much more becoming..., if you could separate without giving each other a parting shot. It is quite obvious that the two phrases have rather similar phonetic soundings but are actually separately derived at different times. Although the Parthian archers of old have been famous for their shooting the term "parthian shot" was actually officially used and recorded for the first time only in 1832 by Captain Mundy, ADC to Lord Combermere on a hunting trip in India: ...I made a successful Parthian shot with my favourite Joe Manton (shotgun). The figurative use of the phrase "Parthian shot" only appeared much later in The Times (1842): |

I had a friend in high school say something to the effect of "She's nasty, I would never tough her, you'd end up w/ glaucoma or some shit."

I forgot to mention warsh/warshington instead of wash/washington.
Also, nobody has mentioned people who say "been had" meaning I have had this for a long time, instead it comes out I been had this. I just remembered this one because I was watching Judge Judy (ya, ya, I know, but it makes me laugh) and this African American gentleman was asked about his watch by Judge Judy. He said, no I been had this. She said what did you say and he said it again. She looks at the bailiff and says, what did he say? He said it again, real loud and slow as if she couldn't hear him. "I BEEN HAD IT" |

From Wiki: "In like Flynn" is a slang phrase meaning "having completed a goal or gained access as desired". In addition to its general use, the phrase is sometimes used to describe success in sexual seduction, and its folk etymology often asserts the phrase has sexual origins. Origins The term is often believed to refer to movie star Errol Flynn. Flynn had a reputation for womanizing, consumption of alcohol and brawling |

"My bad"
or "My bag" both can be used in the same context. I remember "my bag" in the 70's, if a cop stopped a car and found dope, he would ask whose is this? the owner would get arrested if they admitted to owning the bag o' dope. If nobody 'fessed up, then every body got arrested. so both basically meant, I'm guilty / my fault / I'm responsible etc. |

A guy I know has a family that created their own language. I'm even gathering notes to write a book about them in the future. They are the Higgins and they speak Higginese.
It took me a bit but I figured out that they replace Ts with Ks and then add a few random letters along the way. They go to the "Wal Marks" to buy "cleanging" supplies such as "Comik" that they use in a "mop buckek". Little people are called "migiks". One of the brothers was once running from the law when the cop yelled out "Hawk!". One of them is named Mart...yep, you got it they pronounce his name "Mark". "Lynert Skynnart" had that guy "Ronny Ban Zap" in it. One of them even claims to have met the "Ban Zaps" once long ago. Way too much material here to post in a thread. Maybe some day you can read my book about them. Hopefully it evolves into a screen play and I can make a movie about these guys. You just cant make up this stuff. |

in like flynn, instead of in like flint... It is "In like Flynn". As in Errol Flynn. Generally meaning you're going to get some. My mom says "warsh" instead of wash. I keep asking her where the "r" is, she keeps throwing things at me. Had a friend a long time ago that was from the Pacific North West. He and his mom would say WARSH instead of wash.

A couple of months ago, a poster on ARFcom used the word "grattis" in place of the word "granted" as in the following example.
Grattis. a lot of people use malapropisms frequently, but sometimes they do it out of whimsy. A couple of other posters and I called him on it, and he defended it rather vehemently. Good stuff. I see "prolly" almost every day on ARFcom. Hate it. If I had my druthers, I'd rather not see it again.

It has recently become popular to attache the word "literally" to as many descriptions as possible. To counter this, I have begun to overuse the word "figuratively," in context, several times a day.
I figuratively did it 87,223,556 times today. Also, most times I hear people use the word "ironically," they really mean, "coincidentally."

I know he's gay but still it's odd." Co-worker: "What the fuck are you talking about? his old lady: "You know, "Hold me closer Tony Danza"
I do that to at the shop,I don't think there is a classic rock song that I haven't altered in some fashion.In the case of "Big 'ol jet airliner" I usually go with "Big 'ol black vaginer" and no I'm not racist,that shits just funny. A buddy always used to think it was a song about a big, drunken redneck who would get torn up and raise hell. "Big 'Ol Jed Had A Light On" 
I have a friend that thought the Rage Against The Machine song "Bulls On Parade" had the lyrics "Man ain't got no family with a pocket full of shells" instead of "Rally round the family with a pocket full of shells." I always thought it was "Riding in a Bentley, with a pocket full of shells," until a friend told me it was "Running down the family, with a pocket full of shell."
