No man is an island

"No man is an island" means that no one is completely self-sufficient.

Gruff old guy: Some people say "No man is an island." Well, they haven't met Islandman...

*Islandman intro plays*
♪ Islandman, Islandman!
♪ A man who's also a landmass surrounded by water, yeah!
♪ Not a large enough landmass to be considered a continent, but still pretty sizeable!
♪ Islandman, yeah!

Scene 1.
Woman on a boat: Oh no, we're adrift at sea with no land in sight, whoever can we turn to?!

customer is always right

1. A policy mainly enforced in the retail industry in terms of having respect for the customer, saying that their opinion matters and that they are always correct.

2. An instance of an employee agreeing with a customer.

1.The customer is always right about our merchandise.

2. Even if the customer is wrong, we basically have to kiss their ass with the "customer is always right" policy--even though the customer was wrong (and an idiot)

3. (Opposite) The employee is always right, the customer is a moron.

To Live is to Die

An instrumental by Metallica - A tribute to Cliff Burton who died in a tour bus crash.

Although this is a instrumental, there are words spoken near the end of the song (7:35)

It is featured on the Justice for All album; its running time is 9:49

To live is to die is one of the best songs by metallica along with orion and call of ktulu.

When a man lies he murders some part of the world
These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear to witness any longer
Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home

The struggle is real

A (generally) ironic saying often used in place of the saying, "first world problems". Has slightly more urban undertones than "first world problems". Denotes a situation where the user wishes to express that they are encountering some sort of undesirable difficulty, but dealing with it. With irony, it has a comical effect of dramatizing a non-critical, yet undesirable situation.

Tom: I had to walk to class today because my bike got a flat tire.
Adam: Must've been real hard, man.
Tom: Yeah. The struggle is real.
