Micro marriage

YouTube Premium

For Android users, look up YouTube Vanced. It's basically the exact same thing as YT Premium but free. You're welcome.

B: Is your phone an Android?
A: Yep
B: Okay, then you can just download YouTube Vanced (google it), install the apk file and you basically have a modded YT app with all the features of Premium.
A: Oh wow! That's fricking awesome!

Mr. Sub

Mr. Sub is a Canadian sub shop franchise. Its main competitor is Subway (and vice versa in Canada).

Many Canadians view subway as better, while others believe the exact opposite, but in the end it's mostly personal preference. Nowadays I find myself preferring Mr. Sub over Subway, but I think it's because I've eaten at subway far too many times. You can't go wrong with either, and to be honest Mr. Sub does offer far more variety than Subway.
John was getting tired of that same old subway taste, so he decided to order from Mr. Sub instead and did not regret it one bit. He now prefers Mr. Sub over subway.

Dog eat dog

"Dog eat dog" is analogous to the idiom "every man for himself", which implies a situation in which fierce deadly competition is necessary for your survival.

Some of these recent definitions seem to be offended at this saying due to their ignorance of the origin behind this 500 year old idiom. Some people do not seem to realize that this idiom is NOT meant to be taken literally. So, why is it called "dog eat dog" you may ask? Well, the idiom is actually a play on the much older latin idiom "dog does NOT eat dog" (canis caninam non est), which originated as early as 43 BC and first spoken by Roman scholar Marcus Tarentius Varro.

"Dog does not eat dog" is a proverbial saying indicating that even animals are better than humans in that they don’t prey on their own kind. The phrase entered into English discourse in 1543. Eventually, the phrase got flipped and applied to humans and henceforth "dog eat dog" was born. Both idioms generally imply the same thing (that humans are capable of being merciless).

So to summarize, the idiom "dog-eat-dog" is derived from its parent idiom "dog-does-not-eat-dog". The latter idiom makes sense in and of itself, while the former idiom ONLY makes sense in relation to its latter.
Me: It's a dog eat dog world out there.

Some kid: No it's not. It never was a dog eat dog world. Humans eat humans, but dogs don't eat dogs.

Me: My guy, you are so heavily misinformed. Dog eat dog isn't referring to dogs, it's referring to humans.

Some kid: So why don't they just name it "human eat human" instead?

Me: Because context my guy, it's all about context. You see... "dog eat dog" actually belongs to the much older idiom "dog does not eat dog", indicating that dogs never prey on their own kind. It took around 700 years for this idiom to become flipped and applied to humans.

Me: Also since you took it literally, I'll have you know that from an evolutionary standpoint, dogs will eat other dogs if this is what ensures their survival.

My body is a temple

It's a metaphor for saying that one's body is sacred, and so one should treat it well and with respect, as you would to a sacred temple.

The phrase is usually used to justify one's sense of self-respect (dignity), and to express their discontent towards lending their body for other people's gain (or for monetary gains).
Example 1:

Cheeky guy: Hey beautiful, your body is so enticing, you should totally become a model for some magazine 😍
Her: Nah, my body is a temple, I prefer to keep it clean thank you.

Example 2:

Girl friend 1: Hey why are you taking pictures of your feet?
Girl friend 2: Oh it's for only OnlyFans followers, they pay big bucks to see my feet! You should totally join too and we can make cash together!
Girl friend 1: No thanks, my body is a temple.
