let's be having you

A phrased that one uses to call out or pump up a large group of people. Made infamous by Delia Smith

"This is a message for possibly the best supporters in the world. We need a 12th man here. Where are you? Where are you? Let's be having you! Come on!"

- Delia Smith to Norwich City supporters

you've got to be kidding me

It can't be true. New Jersey

Used when someone is really surprised at something. For instance, when the bartender explains that they ran out of beer on tap on St. Patrick's Day, the response would be, "You've got to be kidding me!!"

We're gonna be in the Hudson

A decisive expression to indicate the last chance to save other lives when you are the responsible for them.

Capt. Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger made a final radio call to the air-traffic control tower from his crippled jet: "We're gonna be in the Hudson" before he glided the plane into the river rather than risking a catastrophic crash in a densely populated area, saving the lives of all 155 on board.

“I’ve made a severe and continuous lapse of my judgment and I don’t expect to be forgiven I’m simply here to apologize”

Something Logan Paul said once....
...and got a lot of hate for it after a certain incident.

Pewdiepie reviewed this sometime not too long ago and said the steps to an apology “I’ve made a severe and continuous lapse of my judgment and I don’t expect to be forgiven I’m simply here to apologize”

eat or be eaten

The idea that if you do not work your ass off, then someone else will beat you to it and potentially take advantage of you. It is the concept of fighting to be the best and come out on top or else you'll just be another unimportant number.

A fight or flight mechanism where only the strong win and survive.

Friend: "How'd you get that promotion and come out on top?'"
Me: "I worked harder than everyone else, didn't take shit from anyone, never quit, and beat everybody else to it."

Friend: "Hell yeah bro! Eat or be eaten!"

let's be friends

Doublespeak for "I don't want to be friends, in fact, it would probobly be best if we never spoke or saw each other ever again"

"Jenny broke up with me and told me she wanted to be friends, but she hasn't answerd my phone calls for the last month"
