"bang hard" (as in "go hard"), I just heard my MD tell me about it the other day haha. Apparently its big with old school guys? I've never heard it

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis - when I was dead broke man I couldn't picture this
 
No LeverageHa I like it - not to go off topic here, but I feel like "going hard in the paint" has been growing in popularity as well.

Dude, this is like sixth grade lingo. There's an eponymously titled song from the early 2000s.

My thing recently has been: Do force x distance!

People tend to think life is a race with other people. They don't realize that every moment they spend sprinting towards the finish line is a moment they lose permanently, and a moment closer to their death.
