Stairway to Heaven

A phrase used to calculate the amount of time it takes you to do something. Usually something around 8:02 or longer.

With all this traffic, my drive that should have been as long as the Highway to Hell took as long as the Stairway to Heaven.

I fell down some stairs

what to say to your friends when you got beat up and and don't want to admit it. Because of it's overuse (a result of the historical precedent for lying about spousal abuse in order to preserve the sancity of marriage) it is considered a thinly veiled cry for help.

"woah, Joanie, what happened to your eye?"
"I fell down some stairs."
"is everything OK with Phillip?"
"yeah, everything's fine. I just fell down some stairs, ok, Mom?"

Spirit of the Staircase

The French have this phrase, l'esprit d'escalier. Literally, it translates as "the spirit of the staircase" but what it actually means is the things you think of to say after it’s already too late and you’re on your way out.

The spirit of the staircase was with me the whole walk home as I thought of better comebacks I should have said to him when we had that argument.
