We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Among the ones I've never heard: "open the kimono". And I am *so* glad about that, because I would not know where to look or who to glare at first.
Oh lord yes. My boss is inordinately fond of the phrase "Lift up our/their skirts" for pretty much any information-sharing. Makes me cringe every time.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think, most of the time, it's not the jargon that's the problem, it's people who don't know what it mean using jargon inappropriately.

What is a Persian Cucumber?
It's smaller than a regular cucumber, not waxed, very tasty and crisp.

When I hear someone say they'll throw something over the wall and then circle back, but we should take it offline because they're in the middle of a fire drill, it's the jargon that's the problem.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Lungs found on Los Angeles sidewalk
On Sunday, a Los Angeles woman found what appear to be a pair of lungs on the sidewalk. Wonder if (ahem) someone coughed them up. L.A. County Coroner's Office spokesman Ed Winter, told the L.A. Times that he found the situation “a little strange.”
I dunno--ripping people's lungs out isn't ita !'s style, is it?
