Not buying the latest and greatest, making do with what you have, because you have more important places to put the money, such as your kids education or your retirement.

The machine has been down for weeks. Now they want me to pull a rabbit out of my ass , and get it working because they need it by lunch.

Going to a site like Craigslist in another city just to see what stuff is selling for there, something you do when really bored.
I went site seeing on Craigslist last night, those clowns in Omaha must think their junk is made of gold.

A goal or object that looked really desirable from a distance, but not worth the cost close up. From grapes that looked good on the vine , but proved rotten when eaten-ed. The opposite of sour grapes.

The history of the George W Bush white house. Never have so many been so damaged by the massive retardation of so few.

Someone who corrects the English mistakes in the work of another writer. The shepherd who safely guides thoughts and ideas through the swamps of the English language. A maintenance worker who struggles to keep that cobbled together bridge between the writers mind and the readers mind called English from collapsing. A harmless drudge who works just as hard on a toilet paper ad as on a work that will be considered a jewel of western literature. A pain in the neck when it's your paper they're correcting.
The quality of your paper is A+, the mechanics is D- , you are a miserable proof reader. I really stink at English my spouse has to proofread all my writing.
