scarf it down

Extended form of scarf, and used especially when time is of the essence.
Dude, we gotta catch that plane in two minutes and you've only half finished your burger. Better scarf it down on the way to the gate.

all the way to China

1: Notionally speaking, where you would wind up if you proceeded to dig a hole through the earth as to come out the other end. (This is mistaken, of course - starting from either coast of the US would put you in the middle of an ocean, as would starting about anywhere in China.) See china syndrome for a possible explanation to the origin.

2: Metaphor for where one can see if they have a clear view of a woman's genitalia - either due to the fact that she is wearing no clothing, or the clothing she is wearing is revealing what's underneath (due to transparency or just that it is ill fitting). Possibly originates by extension of sense 1.
When she lifted up her legs, we could see all the way to China.

izetize

To create a verb by improperly suffixing a noun with '-ize' (or '-ise' for European spelling). The method by which words such as 'monetize', 'securitize', and even 'legalize' are created. A practice generally frowned upon by linguists and geeks.

Created as sort of a self-parody of this formation.
The CEO of the megacorp had the geeks enthralled until he started izetizing his nouns to get his power verbs.

You keep telling yourself that

A response to a possibly false statement that one gives when the party being responded to is certainly deluding themselves. Roughly, "If you keep saying that, you might actually start to believe it".
"The price of gasoline is going to go down tomorrow," quipped Sue. Joe simply responded, "You keep telling yourself that."

Dubya

1) The written representation of the letter W, as might be pronounced with a southern drawl.

2) The nickname for George W.Bush, the 43rd president of the United States of America. Derived from his accent - see 1, above.
If the 23rd letter of the alphabet is "dubya", you might be a redneck.

hole in the lip

Notional leading cause of a beverage running out of the mouth and down your shirt due to poor aim (the mouth of your can was tilted to your nose) or poor control (tilted the coffee cup too far back).

Derived from the fact that it kind of looks like you took a hole punch to the skin just below your lower lip.
Dude, you spilled coffee all down the front of your shirt, you have a hole in your lip or something?
