Grammar:

• We go where eagles dare

  ➔ Relative clause with "where"

  ➔ This sentence uses "where" to introduce a relative clause, indicating a place. "Eagles dare" refers to a place where eagles are bold or risk themselves. It creates an abstract area of danger or rebellion.

• You think they really care?

  ➔ Question tag (implied)

  ➔ This is a rhetorical question implying the speaker believes the answer is "no". The intonation also is important to identify this type of question.

• I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch

  ➔ Double negative (non-standard)

  ➔ "Ain't" is a non-standard form of "am not". The sentence literally translates to "I am not no son of a bitch". While grammatically incorrect, it's used for emphasis and expresses defiance. The strong expletive also amplifies the emotion.

• An omelet of disease awaits your noontime meal

  ➔ Figurative Language (Metaphor)

  ➔ This line uses a metaphor. It compares a disease or something negative to an omelet to describe a horrible meal, meaning the situation is going to get worse and that bad things are going to happen to you.

• Let's test your threshold of pain, and Let's see how long you last

  ➔ Imperative mood and ellipsis.

  ➔ Both lines use the imperative mood ("Let's...") to make a suggestion or command. Ellipsis occurs in the second line, where "Let's" is understood but not explicitly stated. This creates a more direct and impactful statement.
