on the vine 

A state of limbo; not yet at the next stage. Refers both to vegetables in the process of ripening and to Tarzan's preferred method of travel.
For our third date, we're having a candlelit dinner at her place - I don't think I'll be on the vine much longer.

The Vinny Raffa Effect

The Vinny Raffa Effect occurs after repetitive sightings of a repeated visual stimulus, often a sticker or grafitti. As a child I used to often see this one sticker with a mysterious icon - Vinny Raffa. This led me to ask the question, "who is Vinny Raffa?" As I grew up I saw more and more of these stickers throughout my lifetime and always wondered with great fascination what they meant and how they got there. However when I got older I eventually learned the true identity of the man on the sticker and with this discovery, much of my interest was lost. The Vinny Raffa Effect occurs when you lose interest in something after discovering too much about it.
I'm not sure if this is an example of The Vinny Raffa Effect but, I just found out who made all of these mysterious cards we've been seeing everywhere and now I don't care.

I did it for the vine 

A phrase that is no doubt on many a police report, tombstone, insurance claim, and divorce petition.
"What's that new tattoo on your collarbone, bro?"
"My family motto"
"I can't read the shitty font what's it say"
"'I did it for the vine'"
"Hey yeah I remember seeing that on your dad and grandpa's tombstones"

doing it for the vine 

In which a strange, dangerous or just outright stupid act is committed so it can be filmed and posted as a six second video on the media platform Vine.
Person 1: I'm going to smash these cartons of milk onto the floor lol
Person 2: What the hell?
Person 1: I'm doing it for the vine!

Do it for the vine! 

when you want someone to do something, take your phone and say "do it for the vine" while recording him, then he'll do it because of the "social" pressure.
