run the wheels off

1. To keep doing something long after one should have stopped.

3. Whatever you are doing has died, finished, been exploited to its fullest and you have chosen to continue... perhaps your a jerk.
a. Bill Watterson (creator of Calvin and Hobbes): "I think some of the reason "Calvin and Hobbes" still finds an audience today is because I chose not to run the wheels off it.

I've never regretted stopping when I did."

b. I think ol' Sly may be running the wheels off of the Rocky/Rambo franchises'.

Drop on the Y axis

When a friend does something that is particularly unfriendly. Anytime someone does something mean or inappropriate.

Originated from "Flight of the Conchords" when Murray shows Jemaine and Bret his "friends chart." The y axis on Murray's friend chart represents the level of friendship and the x axis shows the time line.

When Bret and Jemaine are mean to Murray and his other friend they are dropped on the y axis to the point of being at the "stranger" level on the chart.
Murray: "You drilled holes in my desk. That's a drop on the y axis..."
