beat like a dog

who can't read music. To be held to a standard you know nothing about or is impossible to meet, and to be constantly punished for not meeting that standard. A form of spouse abuse. The abuser uses Mr or Ms Wonderful as their standard, and average isn't good enough. A sign that a marriage is terminal.

I'm being beat like a dog who can't read music, and I don't know how much more I can take.

help

A mythical being that will magically appear and render assistance. No one knows what help looks like as no one has ever seen it. I think it isn't fair to blame help for promises that other people make, and help can't keep.

That cabinet looks to big and heavy to move by myself, don't worry you'll have help. I'm not qualified to do this job, don't worry you'll have help. I don't have enough time for this project, don't worry you'll have help.

overpriced

A $5.00 item that costs $10.00. May be of higher quality than a $4.00 item but not enough to justify it's price. Usually a fad or status item like a $500 Gucci purse.

You can get an identical knock off of a Gucci purse for 1/5 the price, the Gucci is way overpriced.

Dead Doggy

A game for old owners who don't like to throw, and old dogs who don't like to fetch. Both players settle in their most comfortable spots and whoever gets up first is the loser.

I spent the afternoon playing dead doggy with Oliver, and I won.

pull a rabbit out of my ass

custom

1. A well thought out, and designed project using the finest parts, and workmanship. 2. A cobbled together piece of junk using what trash you could get for nothing. Custom is in the eye or the stupidity of the beholder.

You can't polish a turd, but you can spray paint it gold, and call it custom.
