A twist on the well known scenario made popular in the early 90s by a home security system commercial in which an elderly woman falls and is unable to get up. The new television series, Hoarders, gives a whole new meaning to this ubiquitous expression. In honor of the popular series, one may say "I've fallen and I can't get up' when one is swallowed up by garbage and are unable to remove oneself from the overwhelming mass of debris that overwhelms one's home. Can also be found when one has a burning desire to pay tribute to one's pet with shrines of pet hair displayed throughout one's home.

Me: omg that gives a whole new meaning to 'i've fallen and i can''t get up!'
T-dawg: mb that's where it came from

Get the can't get a wank in edgeways mug.A situation where streets have been subject to so much traffic calming modification (eg fences, traffic lights, one way streets) that it is impossible to get to the place you want, even though you can see it clearly.
Tourist: "I want to go to that shop but there's nowhere to cross the street."
Local: "You can't get there from here. You have to go back the way you came to the traffic lights, cross over to the other side of the street, walk back this way, go past here, then three blocks down there's a pedestrian crossing, cross back to this side, and head back down this way."
Tourist: "That's ridiculous!"
Local: "Yeah, but what can you do?"
Local: "You can't get there from here. You have to go back the way you came to the traffic lights, cross over to the other side of the street, walk back this way, go past here, then three blocks down there's a pedestrian crossing, cross back to this side, and head back down this way."

Getting seriously engaged in a comittment will eventually lead to a heartbreak, where the guy is the heartbroken one (most of the times). So man up and don't get too comfortable. Otherwise shit gon' hurt.

Lucas: "I've told him to never get too comfortable. Those bitches ain't good for us. Hope he feels better soon!"
Fred: "Yeah, man. Don't get too comfortable. Ever!"
