Refers to the way we tend to look at other people’s lives and other things that we don't have in general through rose colored glasses.
Comes from the idea of looking at a neighbours lawn and seeing it as better looking, healthier and overall greener then your own when in reality you’re just ignoring anything negative about it and downplaying everything positive about your own.

Friend#1: You’re so lucky, you went to a great college, have money and you’re so smart and will probably accomplish more by the time you’re 30 then I will in my entire life.
Friend#2: Are you serious? I’ve always envied you. People expect so much out of me. I’ve never been able to have a life because of studying and other schoolwork. If I get less then an A, people freak out like I got an F. I may accomplish that much, but with all the pressure on me I’ll probably be insane by the time I’m 35. In so many ways, I wish I could just be a regular guy with normal expectations and a normal life.
Friend#1: Wow, I honestly never looked at it that way. I guess it's true that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Get the The grass is always greener on the other side of the fencemug. When a company hires another company to do some aspect of its work for it.
Examples of this include (but are not limited to):
* Stores using another companies cleaning services for cleaning its floors etc (rather then having employees of their own hired as full time cleaners).
* An ISP using a third party for its e-mail services rather then using servers of their own.
* A company in need of call centre services using a third person company rather then building a call centre of its own.
Companies often outsource to save money. However, it's also possible they want to concentrate on their main service and allow another company to worry about secondary ones (ie, companies whose main service are those secondary ones).
Outsourcing unfortunatly costs jobs domestically when companies outsource overseas. This is why people dislike it so much.

Get the outsourcingmug. 
Get the weapon of ass destructionmug. 1. A ninja from the anime Naruto who clearly is a homosexual. He doesn't give women a second look, and is obsessed with his brother and desperately seeks Orochimaru, a little boy collector. And he's a jerk. The show would be much better, without him.

Get the Sasukemug. Pretty much what your average College or University student must learn to subside on because rent and education costs leave them basically in poverty.
What lots of teachers are known to say: Believe me guys; I was a poor student. I remember living on Kraft Dinner for weeks to afford my books.
