doing harakiri
the act of committing suicide ( using any method except the real harakiri, the actual Japanese ritual form of suicide by disembowelment often used historically by the samurai).
son: why are so many people nowadays doing harakiri?
father: Adrian, why people commit such an irrational act is probably because they've reached a point in their existence where they can't find life's meaning even in a religious setting. There's always secular hope, by getting a social worker or something. You can always pull the roasted chestnuts out of the fire no matter the dire situation. don't burn your bridges is the sole piece of advice I would give these people.

Elmo's world
dad: son, stop living in Elmo's world.
son : you mean, you want me to stop living underwater
dad: no, I said stop living in a your own disconnected from reality world. people living underwater at least have intelligent ideas partially connected to reality, but ideas that are considered beyond eccentric in their socio-cultural and historical zeitgeists. you, however, are beyond the Pale.

grab capitalism by the balls
(as a pun variation on the Ford F-150 commercial punch line 'grab life by the horns'), this is one of the many possible English translations of the Latin phrase carpe diem.
as to who may have first used the expression grab capitalism by the balls to translate the Latin phrase carpe diem, IMHO as a history major, I would probably have to say it would have been the 'founders' of modern Western WASP capitalism, people like Thomas Jefferson, John Locke and Thomas Hobbes.
