Picking Up Scraps 

The art of taking credit for an accomplishment that you had absolutely nothing to do with.

Alternatively, acheiving a goal only after someone has done most or all of the work for you.

Bob: Damn, that project was rough. But I think I really pulled it off.

Jeff: Yeah..you pulled it off alright. (smiles wickedly)

Boss: Why Jeff, what an excellent job you did on that project, we should talk about your promotion.

Bob: (face turning 10 shades of red, he begins to hop up and down) But..but..no...he's PICKING UP SCRAPS!

Boss: Bob, perhaps you would benefit from some..counseling..

Nose picking

The action of inserting one of the index fingers into either nostril, and clearing out residue in the nose called a booger.

Even though most of us would say EW if we saw it in public, everybody does it...everybody.

How do people keep their nostril's clear everyday? Blowing their noses? I don't think so.

Matt: YUCK! Stop nose picking! That's gross!

Josh: Why? You do it everyday in your car after school.

Matt: Eh, true.

picking the plaque 

When picking, or scratching, the plaque off of one's teeth to clean one's teeth of bacteria. This is usually done when one feels bumpy stuff on his/her teeth which is plaque or when one cannot brush one's teeth properly.

There are a few ways to do it:

1. Going to the dentist every 6 months.
2. Using one's nail to scratch one's teeth and putting the plaque onto a tissue daily or after every meal.
3. Using a sharp object of some sort to scratch one's teeth and putting the plaque onto a tissue daily or after every meal.
4. Any other way one would like.

One : Hey your teeth have gotten whiter, lately.
Two : Yeah! I've been picking the plaque everyday!
One : Wow! That's nice. My dentist doesn't even do that for me because he's so cheap.
Two : It's a lot better doing it yourself because it's more reliable and it's a free daily ticket to white teeth!
