foot in your hand

An expression coming from the Gullah dialect, meaning to run as fast as you can.

When the cops are on your ass, you better run with your foot in your hand!

Steve: How come Stephanie didn't win the race?
Mark: Because she didn't run with her foot in her hand.

10 foot rule

When you see a customer within 10 feet of you, you ask them if they need assistance. This applies to employees at retail stores like Wal*mart.

Bob (a Walmart associate) is stocking shelves in the chemical department, and he notices a customer about 6 feet away looking at the air-fresheners. Bob uses the "10 foot rule": "How are you today sir? I notice you're looking at the air-fresheners today." Customer: "Yes sir. I see you have new Glade candles scents for the fall season." Bob: "Why yes we do. We have 4 new scents to choose from, and we also have them in the spray forms, as well as the plug-in oil refills." The associate used the 10 foot rule very well resulting in a happy customer who will most likely continue to shop there time and time again.

Left Foot Lucy

A church organist, typically an older woman, who plays the pedals like those of a spinet organ, i.e., using only the toe of the left foot. The result is a choppy bass line that will make any real organist cringe.

Wow, the music at church was awful today. Old Left Foot Lucy must be off her meds.

Put His Foot in It

Idiomatic phrase meaning to make a mistake - having stepped into a pile of manure metaphorically speaking.

When he asked her if she'd put on weight, he really put his foot in it.
