cockpunch

" ...the Russian operation in Georgia was straight out of Col. Boyd's playbook: Roll in hard and fast with overwhelming force, administer the cockpunch, and be finished before anyone can prepare a response or start blathering on about peackeepers and/or UN resolutions. Because that's how it's done in the New Century of the Naked Ape."

-S.A.W. (courtesy of Strudel and Shotguns)

This was an incredible turn of phrase. The juxtaposition of the formal word "administer" a verbose synonym for "apply" or "do" and the very informal, perhaps vulgar "cockpunch." It reminds me of the TV series Deadwood. Deadwood and it's own turns of phrase that won David Milch such laurels. For example:

"I may have fucked my life up flatter'n hammered shit, but I stand before you today beholden to no human cocksucker."

It's a rare writer that can do thsi with fluidity and still carry a plot, a dialog or a message. Strudel & Shotguns manages all three.
