A sale of secondhand items, held in a driveway, garage, or front yard. They usually take place on Saturday mornings in summer.
From rummage sale, so called because it is a sale where you can freely "rummage" (or sort) through things in piles or boxes.
They typically include used clothes, old records, ancient appliances, Happy Meal toys, potholders, small brass deer, broken watches, coffee cups, and "crafty" Christmas decorations. Each sale is different, and finding something good is not a guarantee. (One might argue that it is actually unlikely, as you are sorting through someone else's cast-offs.)
It's main appeal is the thrill of the hunt and the chance at finding a real bargain.

You wouldn't believe the find I got at this rummage today! A nearly complete set of beat-up Beatles albums! AND a broken record player on which to play them!

Even between friends, this exchange comes off as creepy and overenthusiatic:
persondude: yo
animefangirl: SQUEEEEEEE! *glomp!*
The second person in this conversation, on the other hand, maintains a small level of dignity or reserved coolness:
persondude: hey
cooliochika: *tacklehugs*

To have a turning radius slighty larger than that of a dime, but smaller than that of a nickel.
Not as impressive as being able to turn on a dime, but still, not bad.

"You're a wuss. Learn to deal."
An elaborated version of the sentiment is found in the phrasing: "Let me get you a straw so you can SUCK IT UP."
The proffering of a straw to aid "sucking up" abilities is generally considered more comical (read: obnoxious) than simply telling a whiner to deal.
Can be used in any situation.

A voicemail or message left on an answering machine that is nothing but a few seconds of dead air.
