fry an egg on the sidewalk

To say that one could fry an egg on the sidewalk means it's very hot outside. It is actually possible to fry an egg on the sidewalk with the help of mirrors or a solar concentrator. This is often done in developing countries.

sin tax

A sin tax is a tax beyond normal sales tax on certain items that are thought to be harmful. The most common example is the tax on tobacco. The tax on gasoline and inefficient/polluting motor vehicles is another example. Sin taxes exist to drive up the cost of and therefore reduce the use of harmful products such as gasoline and tobacco.

The new sin tax on tobacco is forcing some people to quit.
