Hi,

I need your help over the following sentences:

1)You know, you supposed
to be some SLICK-SHIT killer.

What does it mean?

2) Now look at you... All BACK-OF-THE-BUS and shit.

and

3) We attack them next. TAKE IT STRAIGHT INTO THEIR TEETH.

Thanks.

Hello MoH

1) 'Slick-sh*t' in this context would probably mean 'highly professional'.

2) This is a combination of two phrases. 'And sh*t' = 'and stuff' = 'etc'., with
an undertone of contempt.

'All back of the bus' probably refers to the phrase 'to look like the back of a
bus', which = 'to have an extremely unattractive face'. So if I say 'you're
looking all back-of-the-bus', it means 'you're not looking very pretty'.

3) This is a more conventional phrase. 'In/into the teeth of' means 'extremely
close to', in a dangerous situation - i.e. the point where you're face-to-face
with your enemy's teeth. So here it means 'attack the enemy and get in close!'.
