Get the lately you havemug. A secondhand account of complaint, usually from a person of authority, or by someone who's the teacher's pet (if at school). A sentence of doom. Can happen if you've been sexually harrassing the teacher's daughter, sticking aluminum foil into electrical outlets, shoplifting, etc.
"Someone tells me you've been putting foil in the outlets at school. If you don't respect electicity, I can't let you have electronics in your room." "Someone tells me you've been mooning the principal. Don't you know you can get arrested for that?"

Get the someone tells me you've beenmug. (from America's Technology Store--the name given to Radio Shack back in the late 1990s/early 2000 zeroes). The Christmas Tree Shops, a place known for selling knicknacks and decorative items. Sometimes you can even buy a celluloid christmas tree there.
Frodo: "I'm going to America's Trinket Store to buy a crystal ball for my garden." Saruman: "Could you get me a minature Santa while you're there? I like his beard."

Get the mode of failuremug. Unburnable Media Disc. The read-only disc used in a Sony Playstation Portable. Made to be unburnable because people would make UMD Mix-discs which hold loads of songs or even more using a GBA emulator and a GSM player. Not to mention burning copies of commercial games. Destined for failure.

Get the UMDmug. Like Mickey Mouse's brooms, sorcerer's apprentice mode is a computer event that triggers over and over again on its own output. There was once a time on USENET (an internet message board system) where a program was written to cancel anonymously posted messages automatically. Problem was, the canceling message was also an anonymous message which caused the program to trigger on its own output.
This actually will happen if you try to downgrade a 2.0 firmware PSP and you have Norton running...the screen real estate gets used up faster and faster with the same darn error message. This is because it gets a false positive that the downgrader is PSPBrick, then Norton quarantines the "virus" which causes it to notice the freshly quarantined virus as a new virus that was just installed seconds later, and the process repeats.
some source (sorce) code
int main(){
printf("There's been a horrible error!);
main(); /* call the main function and eat more memory */
}
return 0

Get the sorcerer's apprentice modemug. (From the nuclear power industry's false promise about electricity being so cheap as not being able to charge for it)
1. In a fantasy or western-european-Pagan setting, sorcerous things that use so little mana as to be insignificant and not get you persecuted if you use them. Dancing naked in the forest when no one's looking and no camera is rolling is witchcraft that's too cheap to meter.
2. In a broader sense, a deed in a gray area (of society) that's so small as to not even be noticed.

Sean:"Yeah, don't worry, it's witchcraft that's too cheap to meter. You won't get caught."
2. In 1996 I took some toilet paper and stuffed it into the bathroom exhaust fan at my grandmother's house, she didn't mind because it was similar to witchcraft that was too cheap to meter.
