Peel foot 

The often painful yet addicting result of someone who cannot resist peeling dry skin off their feet. An occurrence more prevalent during the summer months when sandal wearers subject their feet to optimal peel foot inducing conditions.
I've got a good peel foot going, keeps me busy at night!
Peel foot by Toe fan July 9, 2011

I got one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel.

Something that a NY Mobster might tell a reporter when he knows that his time is limited. He's done some really outrageous shit to other gangsters, and as a result, he is a dead man. Like a moth caught on a hot light, he knows it's wrong, but the danger gives him such a charge that he really has ceased to care. A guy in this position would say this and really mean it.
"I got one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel." "We live this way, but we don't care."

One foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel

2 phrases:

"One foot in the grave"- half dead, dying, death is catching up. Tired, old, metaphorical

"Foot on a banana peel"- funny, humorous, cartoon, things are going comically wrong, events are not working in one's favor. *Picture* stepping on a rake and being hit in the face with the handle. Knee slap comedy
One foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel expression-

damned if you do, damned if you don't...

Guy 1: "how are you doing?"
Guy 2: *expression meaning* on one side (one foot) I've really gone to hell, or im working on getting there- and on the other side (other foot) it's pretty stupid, but entertaining to watch, the bullshit that's been happening to me or that I've been outing putting myself through...

"Falling apart and it's hysterical to witness"

one foot on a banana peel and the other one out the door 

To be in a very precarious position, most commonly used when a person is in imminent danger of being fired from their job.
The way John has been fucking up at work lately, I wouldn't be surprised if he has one foot on a banana peel and the other one out the door.
