do time

1. Serve a prison sentence.

2. Serve a hitch in the military, especially if drafted.

3. Get grounded.

After spending most of his teen years doing time (3) for the rents, the kid couldn't wait, so he upped and did time (2) as soon as he could. That got old, so he split before his time was up, got caught, did some time (1) in the big house, and still had to do the rest of his time when he got out. It was getting to be a habit.

nobody

Nobody calls me a nobody!

chain letter

A virally propagated scam, formerly sent entirely through snail mail, but now more frequently sent through email. It operates basically as a pyramid scheme in which the recipient is urged to send a small sum of money to each person on a short list of names and addresses, with the promise that they will receive a lot of money when they rotate their name into the list, and the oldest name off of it, and mail the letter to everyone they know.

Some chain letters try to scam people even further, by instructing them rotate their name into the oldest position, so that the very next recipient will rotate them off of it, so that only the first names and addresses on the list will get any money.
