too much typing—since 2003

it's the shins

I think there's a pressing need for new slang. I nominate the phrase "get a neck." This came to me as I was driving ahead of a bulked-up moron in a jacked-up truck who kept tailgating me (even though there was, in fact, nowhere else I could go, and I couldn't drive any faster because there were cars in front of me), and I noticed as he exited his vehicle (he'd pulled into a parking space behind me as I was stopped at a traffic light) that he had no neck. Thus the concept is: "you're acting like a belligerent idiot; try using your brain."

Well, okay: it's nowhere near as clever or catchy as "santorum" - but go ahead; try it out today.
