This is used as a highly ironic response to somebody's last statement in a long line of statements, usually full of boring detail, about things that are only to do with them.
Such things as the tiny little facts about their life, lover, job, achievements etc that are only interesting to the person telling about them ... but to anybody else? Nope.
From the song of the same name "zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay, wonderful feeling, wonderful day"

Kevin: Well I got this new bank account and no they don't charge me for checks but of course I had to personalize the checks so I got this photo of me brushing my teeth and photoshopped my name in my mouth K-E-V-I-N one letter on each tooth from left to right or from right to left so they are don't spell NIVEK of course so you know, right, so that everybody can see it's me by name but anyway of course I don't have the letters tattooed on my teeth in real life but who knows I might just do that because it's a statement about me and you know that's a good thing, anyway as I was saying I also managed to get that same photo on the Visa card that the bank gave me too which is really cool so then..

The full phrase is
"the best laid plans o' mice an' men gang aft agley"
This was written by an ancient Scots Poet, Robert Burns, who wrote several poems in a strange language, including "To a mouse".
"Gang aft agley" means "often get fucked up"
"best laid plans" is an acknowledgement that something has just got fucked up for no apparent reason, or because something inevitable (government, parents, teenage kid, fate, whatever) has acted against it.

Billy: Damn. Eight point buck just standing there. Gun aimed, ready to take the shot, I was so damn sure that I could take a piss without letting go of the gun. But I peed all down the front of my pants, the gun went off before I was ready, that scared the buck who ran right at me and kicked my ribs in.
Bobbette: you know what they say, honey, best laid plans and stuff. Now turn over and let me wipe your butt. Eeewwww!

This was one of the earliest operating systems for Personal Computers.
A variant of CP/M which was designed by Digital Research for use with the Intel 8086 microprocessor and compatible with the later Intel 8088. It followed CP/M as IBM's preferred operating system for the IBM PC.
However, it faded out of use primarily because Digital Research and IBM could not agree on contract licensing and fees. IBM then took up with Bill Gates and Microsoft to use MS-DOS.
This was what set in motion Microsoft as an operating system provider and was ultimately the demise of compact and manageable operating systems for Personal Computers until Microsoft's grasp on them was loosened somewhat. So, ultimately, part of the blame can be laid at the feet of IBM.

CP/M is an acronym for "Control Program for Microprocessors". It was one of the earliest operating systems for Personal Computers.
CP/M was designed by Digital Research for use with the Intel 8080 based microprocessors, originally single tasking, 8-bit, for up to 64k of RAM. Later versions were capable of multi-user operation and 16 bit processors (see also CP/M-86).
It was commonly used from the mid 1970's until the mid 1980's. As an early operating system it was prehistoric compared with those of the 1990's and beyond. Although it was primitive, it was also remarkably simple and uncomplicated to use. In common with computing during that period, the persons who made the best use of it had some formal computing science knowledge to install, use and maintain CP/M systems.
Most users favored CP/M and it was the closest to an industry standard at that time. It went through some versions as microprocessors improved, and was a clear rival to Microsoft's MS-DOS but fell out of use because IBM changed to MS-DOS as its chosen operating system for IBM PCs.

An exclamation of surprise when served pasta for the second or subsequent meal running.
Also the sound of the sharp intake of breath that can be heard when Hetty enters the room bearing pasta.
Also the inspiration behind the once-furious drumming by Robert Wyatt (as detailed in a story on the liner notes of Matching Mole's Little Red Record: ('....The warriors drew their breath sharply. It was Hette....')

A Gum Booger is the kind of annoying thing you can't successfully get rid of without spending a lot of time and effort, and even then it's difficult to complete.
Taken from nose-picking, when you hook out a booger that's moist gummy & sticky. No matter how much you might flick it or try to rub it off your finger and on to something else, it refuses to go. The only way you can remove it is by wrapping the entire fingertip in a rag and wiping it off. But if you had a rag in the first place, you wouldn't have had to pick it out.
Applies to:
An annoying person who just won't quit or go away
An annoying ad on TV that keeps on popping up during CSI
A driver who refuses to overtake but tailgates you and insists on matching your speed however much you speed up or slow down.
The annoying relative who always calls on the phone when you're really getting into a session of early morning sex.
among others.

Liza: Baby, next time hang up the phone before we start.

The 6 p's are:
Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance.
When you are about to be engaged in a particular project, job, task, whatever, and you absolutely cannot afford to have it fail, you always have to remember the 6 p's.
If you prepare properly, the end result will be at least adequate and it's the best shot you have at being seen as a work monster.
If you do not, it will be a total failure and you will be seen as a waste of space.
