2. From Urban Dictionary:

"To hit someone, usually used in a threat of punishment or retribution. A knot is generally snatched in one's ass, though variants include the neck and the head."

How exactly do you, "snatch a knot" in someone's ass? I'm not sure what is even being suggested here.

I'm starting to think that human consciousness, as well as matter, is subject to the second law of thermodynamics. It's the only explanation that I can conjure for...well, everything lately.

7. I always heard it as "jerk a knot in (someone's) tail."

Maybe it's regional. Nobody means it literally. Not very collegial or dignified in the present context.
