Random Wordplay for Wednesday 7/20/16

Beat the brakes off.

Used in a sentence:  "Courtesy of A&E's '60 Days In', I now know that if I ever end up in a prison fight, I need to puff up and threaten to beat the brakes off my opponent."

'60 Days In' returns later this summer, and I'm still only part way through the first season -- so no spoilers please if it turns out to be as fake as 'Amish Mafia' was (although with much better actors acting as regular folk, if it is) -- but I have already filed away some new lingo to pull out at the appropriate time.

Because let's face it, some of the most creative (and colorful) language comes from the incarcerated.  And one never knows in what situations one might find oneself.
