Sneak's Slip 'N Slang - Baumes Rush
Origin: American Slang
Definition: Senator Caleb H. Baumes sponsored a New York law (the Baumes Law) which called for automatic life imprisonment of any criminal convicted more than three times. Some criminals would move to a state that didn't have this law in order to avoid its penalty should they be caught again, and this was known as a "Baumes rush," because of the similarity to "bum's rush."
Example: I had to give my brother the Baumes Rush, otherwise he will go away for the rest of his life
