coming up Milhouse

1. When things go in your favor, albeit in a nerdy way.
A reference to a Simpsons episode in which Milhouse first complains about wearing his "dorky highwater shorts" but feels better when the floodwater "soaks his ankles" but leaves his cuffs "bone dry," at which point he exclaims "Alright, everythings coming up Milhouse."

Example: I was picked as the "Best Edward from Twilight Look-alike" at the Springfield Bi-Mon Sci-Fi Con. Looks like everything is coming up Milhouse.

Everything's Coming Up Milhouse! 

A celebratory phrase used following one, or a series of, positive, though generally insignificant event(s).

Its origin can be attributed to Milhouse, a character of television show The Simpsons, who coined the phrase in jubilation after realising the success of his flood pants to keep his cuffs bone dry.
"I left work 10 minutes early today, and I found $2 in the passenger seat of my car! Everything's coming up Milhouse!"

coming up short 

A verb meaning failure to meet expectations. When said the short part is often a higher tone then the rest of the phrase.
* some dweeb gets a question wrong after raising his hand

Me: coming up SHORT

Everything's coming up Milhouse 

Means "Everythings going well for me". Came from the Simpsons character MilHouse when something particulary swell happened to him.
I just found 10 bucks, everything's coming up Milhouse!
