by the numbers

Following an exact procedure while doing something.



The Numbers
A Sequence of numbers which is a coded message sent by Russians to Alex Mason. There are other number sequences sent to Russian spies, and Jason Hudson interrogates Alex Mason to find out what his number sequence translated to.
Example:
Alex Mason: "HEY! Who are you people? What do you want from me?"
INTERROGATOR (Hudson): "We want the numbers, mason. That's all we've ever wanted."


number
Physical damage. To "do a number" in an aggressive situation frequently implies hurting someone, usually a particular body part. For example a number is used in the phrases "I'm going to pop you one" and "a quick one-two" (in boxing).
Example:
Rough him up a little, then do a number on his face.


by-numbers
Added to the end of a word to suggest that the word is done without much thought and doesn't/didn't require much actual skill or effort. Derived from the Paint-By-Numbers that we all enjoyed during our childhood.
Example:
Troilus: Wow, Eggers is sure using some sweet moves on that chick Rebomblette!
Fusto: Nah, she'll see right through him - it's just nice-guy-by-numbers.


Number
Something that you don't give out to strange people who keep asking for it in movie theaters.
Example:
Guy: Excuse me can I talk to you for a minute?
Girl: Yeah, what's up?
Guy: Yeah I just wanna let you know... THE BACK OF YO HEAD IS RIDIKILOUS!
Girl: UH... thanks?
Guy: Yeah you are welcome. So listen. Can I have yo number?
Girl: Uh, no. I just don't give it out... in theaters.
Guy: Oh okay I see how it is...
SO WHERE YO BOYFRIEND?!
Where yo boyfriend at?
Girl: Who?
Guy: Yo boyfriend. Is he getting you refreshments? Is he tall? He gettin' you Mike&Ikes? Oh you like Mike&Ikes. Is he hefty? Is he coming back? Where yo boyfriend?
Girl: I don't have a boyfriend.
Guy: Oh you don't? Oh okay. So listen can I have your number?

numbers
A rather brutal and secretive group of prison gangs in South Africa. Number gangs have numbers instead of names, and typically have millitary-style hierarchy, extensive tattoos, strict internal laws, and require violence against prison staff for initiation. The 28 Gang also has a system for distributing sex between new recruits and established members. Recently featured on a BBC documentary.
Example:
Numbers gangs include the 26s, 27s, 28s, etc...
