To be 100% correct about something.

Lacking or without thought, order, or reason; haphazard.

"Life Is What You Make It".....................

Meaning allowing a person to accept the ills of their life, whatever those might be, with grace, knowing that with effort, or wisdom, those ills can be surmounted, or even changed into something positive.

Be someone's shadow (with a negative perveived outcome)

Hot off the press. Late breaking news or an office revelation to which you and a few others are "in the know."

Special news that the boss has given to a few select employees.
Either your very lucky or most likely have done a good job!

Scuttlebutt is similar, but refers to military gossip.

Comrad- started as a way USSR military referred to each other. Still used in Russia and those countries who are Socialist. Also, used between 2 or more members who happen to be Socialist regardless of party or individual political views. Can also be used jokingly amongst other groups of people.

Lighting up an area-use of napalm (illegal after Vietnam), but still used. It is gelatinized fossil fuel which spays out to burn everything within it's reach. A weapon controlled by men.
