There's an animatronic one of these at my local zoo. It's absurd.

“Uncle Tom” means something very specific

I've never heard that phrase before (also not American, so probably never would have).

I'm guessing it's some sort of reference for a slave collaboration with slavery owners?

"Foot gun" for shooting one's self in the foot.

If you require a more crass application just substitute another body part for "foot".

For example:

Wow, I can't believe that guy actually committed that code.

Yeah, he really shot himself in the dick with that one.

Plenary authority is the broad and effectively limitless power of a single government or the unrestricted power of government branches, departments, or officials over particular operations.

I'd never heard the term before, but now you have.
