The brakes are fine just pump them while you down shift.

While doing research during my college years, I was inventorying trees in the city with a partner. We had 2 letter codes for each species, and started using elaborate phrases for the code.

Black locust =LT = Lawrence Taylor= Crackhead.

There were others, but that was my favorite. Every time we came across a black locust we yelled out Crackhead!

We realized management could always make it appear like we were on schedule by "rebaselining" the schedule. This naturally led to " Oh man, I just got rebaselined, hard." and "Go rebaseline yourself!" The other favorite, when you just got reamed by the boss was "Under the bus: my time at (insert company here)." And this came out way too soon after the accident in Japan, but we use "What the Fukushima?" regularly. (I'm also in the nuke industry).
