Bag it

To put a tedious or impossible hacking or repair project away for another day. The term probably comes from the idea of putting all the taken-apart pieces into a paper bag.

I've spent all day taking this apart and now I've had it; I'm just gonna bag it.

rounding for effect

Rounding a price downward if you want it to appear inexpensive, but upward if you want it to appear expensive.

Joe, you should buy one, they're only, like 2 bucks!

Followup glances

When someone interesting enters your view, you give them a serious look. Then you notice the person or some others nearby have noticed you staring. So you immediately look around at others in your view so the noticers think that you are not stairing but instead looking equally at everyone nearby. A little like the Package Peakin Wiener Gazer (but not much).

Look at Jeff. He was eyeing that hottie that's way out of his league and now he's doing a few followup glances at others to hide his foolery.
