"Your heart out. A phrase added after a verb to indicate that that action is being done with the most effort possible. Alright man, your time slot's almost up. You ready? Oh yeah, I'm ready man. My voice is feeling good. Alright, perfect. Now get up on stage and sing your fucking heart out, man."

"Yammering, the act of talking on and on about unimportant stuff that nobody cares about. Yeah, man, I'm totally cool, man, I'm totally cool. I could down five beers, no, ten beers without passing out, promise you. What are you yammering on about? No one cares, man."

"Built like a brick shithouse. Something you say about someone who is very jacked, built, buff, just very muscular and big. You think that guy Daryl hits the gym? Yeah, of course he hits the gym, look at him, he's built like a brick shithouse."

"Shitfaced, meaning incredibly drunk. Alternatively, you can also say wasted. Whew, what's got you all drowsy this morning? Oh man, you have no idea. Last night I went to a party and got completely shitfaced."
Your heart out
"You begged for karaoke night, so get on that stage and sing your heart out instead of clutching the mic like it owes you money."
Built like a brick shithouse
"You see Marcus at the barbecue in that tank top? Dude’s built like a brick shithouse. I’m not arm wrestling him unless my insurance is sorted."
Shitfaced
"Bro turned up to brunch wearing one shoe and asking the waiter for ibuprofen. He got properly shitfaced at Javi's birthday, no contest."
Boke
"That kebab from last night has me ready to boke, I knew it was dodgy when the lettuce was warm but I ate it anyway like an eejit."
Yammer
"He yammered all the way up the hill about the cold, mate. It was just a bit nippy, not Everest in trainers and a hoodie."
