I got in a fight with a vacuum cleaner 

a not so subtle way of saying that you have a hickey
-"what's that on your neck?"
-"I got in a fight with a vacuum cleaner"

dog in that fight 

"I don't have a dog in that fight," means "I don't have a stake in the outcome." Not quite so strong as call somebody who gives a shit.

This expression is neo-Texan.
Russians are fighting Chechens. We Uruguayans don't have a dog in that fight.

knife fight in a phone booth 

A chaotic scene or moment. (As you can imagine, if two people had a knife fight in a phone booth, it would be rather chaotic.)
I only invited a few close friends to the party, but when I opened the door, it was like walking into a knife fight in a phone booth.

still in the fight 

Shits bad, but fuck it you'll live
"Dude I think this car is on fire!?!

"Naw man it's still in the fight!"

Size of the dog in the fight 

The size of the dog in the fight isn't everything, but because knowing which limits are imagined and which ones are a reality is a factor, so is the size of a dog in a fight, to some degree. The size of the dog in a fight doesn't determine what the dog really is, that depends on the dog, not on its size. Weakness isn't a size based trait, and neither is how much fight is in something, those traits depend on the individual and not on the size of the individual. Not all smaller dogs have more fight than larger dogs, and not all of them have more fight than mouth even, it depends on the dog. The same is true for larger dogs. Not all larger dogs are underestimaters because they are larger. Recklessness and overconfidence aren't exclusive to only larger dogs, or only smaller dogs. It depends on the dog.
Size of the dog in the fight isn't everything, but it's a factor. Smaller dogs are not without faults any more than larger dogs are. Hopefully no dog loses it's humility and thinks it's changed into a different dog than the one it was as a pup, no matter it's size or experience (recent or past).
