2) [synewave] 4-9-2006(180): In 'American History X' Edward Norton's character overdoes it when he makes the dude that tried to steal his car lie face down with his jawbone open over the pavement of the roadway and then stamps on the back of his head. My teeth still tingle when I think of that!
3) [Istvan] 16-7-2007(74): Grampa is in the old age marathon, but after a half mile on the road he is wheezing so hard he coughs up his dentures (Jawbone). Geez Grampa, don't overdo it man!
4) [Thunderball] 19-9-2007(23): To pass the day grandpa decided to throw his jawbone (dentures) onto the road, and then sue (す) the next car that came along and crushed them. I know he's bored, but that's just overdoing it! NOTE: This kanji also means 'to pass the day'.
