Also the phrase, On Steroids used to describe large items. Such as, "It looks like a truck on roids!".
I'm not sure why adjectives like big, large, immense, giant, etc. do not suffice.
The expression is thrown around too much except when it's most apt in describing people who are actually using steroids..

Thank God I never hear that over here.:doh: Keep it there. :p
 
How about "getting pushback" where the hell did that come from ?
Why not just say they resisted or what ever !

The phrase "gin up," in the sense of "to artificially incite enthusiasm about something." We've got enough artificially-stimulated excitement in the world without having an irritating trendy phrase to describe the practice of it.

I figure God delivered them, he can create a wind that will take them away! Never understood why leaves were a nuisance??? Must be a neighbor thing.

I once had several large trees in my front yard when I first bought this place years ago. As a single guy then I thought the heck with raking all those leaves that Fall. The next spring I just mowed over them. Yikes..much to my surprise(when the dust cleared)..all the grass in my front yard under those trees was thinned brown and 'dead'.:eeek: I had to re-seed my whole front yard and water all summer to see any hint of green. The next year at midsummer it finally became almost a lush carpet again after several seedings. Ever since(past 36 yrs)..I've raked up the leaves.

And to blow the leaves back into the neighbor’s yard who belongs to the tree that dropped those leaves. :p
We used to live in a neighborhood where the houses were fairly close together. The witch next door used to put the bag chute on her mower without the bag and blow HER leaves into our yard. :argue:

One of the reasons I hate my neighbor's damned trees!
