fly of despair

Life in a nutshell. The deep, seemingly endless vortex of horror that the Flying Dutchman threw Squidward in for his whining. A reference to the Spongebob Squarepants episode "Shanghaied"

Dude, my life is so depressing, it's like the fly of despair.

Get the Safety fly mug.

a collection of fomer bear stearns employees who coined the phrase 'flying/dying' to cover the huge volatilty that was endemic in the equities markets from 06-10

the term also describes the state of fear and euphoria that was prevelant in the market, driven as traders and fund managers scrambled to either sell longs or cover shorts in fear of losing out on mkt performance'

'Whoa omar.. this market is flying!!!'.. 'uh-oh bad news from the non-farms, now we are dying wardy'.. 'will this mkt make up its mine if its flying/dying Squeer??'

Sparks fly

A vague phrase that apparently has lovey-dovey connotations. Flying sparks makes for a great screensaver or background to a music video w/ lyrics, but how it's supposed to allegorize love... I do not know. Recommended to say in a uwu voice.

Someone: sparks fly!!!
Someone else: spawwks fwwy!!!

Flying Dumpster

Getting a rubber gloved hand job by a homeless man outback of the seven eleven.

"I heard Ben traded a Slurpee and a bag of sunflower seeds for a flying dumpster."

"Joe got dumped"
"I guess hes going to be relying on flying dumpsters until he meets a new broad."
