accidentally on purpose (of things done) apparently accidentally, but really, and often maliciously, on purpose: When the crowded metro train stopped suddenly and unexpectedly hurling all its passengers forward, a man in his late middle age bumped into a young beautiful woman in her mid twenties, apparently accidentally on purpose.

aha, me proud beauty!means Now, I've got you where I want you."Aha, me proud beauty", the far smarter player said, and lifted his fatal pawn to checkmate the opponent's king, taking him by complete surprise.

all hands on deck!Used to indicate (especially in time of emergency) the involvement of all members of a team or group, or of all people present is required: Come on, all hands on deck! Let's clear this rubble heap if we don't want to spend this cruel night here in the street. This phrase is of nautical origin, and is still in use in the original sense as a cry or signal on board ship, typically in an emergency, to indicate all crew members are to go on deck, or to do something together.
