Not my first rodeo

Literally translated means "this is not the first time I have done this." Applies to dozens of different scenarios. Relays to the recipient that you are experienced and know what you're doing.

Reporter: "Nice work on that verdict."
Prosecutor: "Hey, this was not my first rodeo."

first date syndrome

A condition which involves the ability to have a great first date, but never experience a second for some reason. The first dates often come in a string together. Can be caused by bad breakups, commitment issues, or bad end-of-date kissing skills. Not to be confused with playing the field, which implies not having a second date by choice.

"Are you going to see him again?"
"Are you kidding? I have first date syndrome. I'll be out with someone else next week."

Greedo shoots first

The greatest edit ever in the history of Star Wars, anyone who thinks different is a total moron!

Don't you just love the way he killed that man, it was like Greedo shoots first, dodging the man's attack before pulling of an attack of his own.

First World Feminist

Someone focused on relatively trivial feminist issues in wealthier countries while neglecting much more important issues elsewhere.

She complained that the girls' toys were all in pink packaging, but ignored the fact that they had been made by child labour in India. She's a real First World Feminist!

not my first rodeo

An excellent retort to people who are dispensing advice to you, that is pretty common knowledge and you already know. Usually, it's delivered to some novice who is attempting to be helpful, but is really just annoying you.

Noob: Make sure you stack that charcoal in a pyramid shape, with spacing between the briquettes.

Pro: It's not my first rodeo. I know how to stack, fluid, and feed the flame...I've probably forgotten more about grilling than you'll ever know...
