Notional name for bakery outlet stores (such as what are run by Weber and Orowheat) that sell products at discount rates.
Origin is obscure, but probably comes by analogy that something that's previously used is a lot cheaper than something that's new.
Usage is considered silly.

Get the used bread store mug.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.

Get the all the way to China mug.A description of a document (for instance, a programming schedule for a convention) that, while written or printed, is still at the given moment highly flexible and can be reshaped with little to no effort.
Derived by analogue to set in stone, and with lack of a better substance to set soemthing in that would require flexibility.

Get the set in jello mug.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.

Get the gormless mug.Modification of the term god damn. Comes from the midwest, as near as I can tell - my grandfather (an Illinois native) used to say it a lot.
Note the term is always used as an adjective, and NEVER as a verb. So you can have (day) a dad gum toll booth attendant, but you don't dad gum the toll booth attendant. The only exception to this rule is that "Dad gummit" is a suitable substitute for "goddammit"

Get the dad gum mug.Colloquial description of an item (document, schedule, contract, etc.) that cannot be altered without great effort (and possibly some destructiveness) for one reason or another.
Probably derived from how the ten commandments (Exodus 22:* in your bible) were produced on stone tablets, as it requires effort to modify a document that is etched into stone.
See also set in jello for a good opposite.
