close, but no bananas 

a variation of the more familiar, 'close, but no cigar.'

the little known phrase spawned from a conversation between a group of intellects in a small neighborhood bar on a weeknight. however, its true origin would be the confused mind of Meredith.

traditionally a phrase used by competing golfers. the new variation has yet to be clearly defined, but is assumed to be condescending.
Guy: Wait, isn't this song a Rolling Stones cover?
Girl: Um close, but no bananas
Guy: ...???

Close-up face-off 

An instance in movies or TV shows when two people face off for an argument and the shot zooms in on one's face and then the other's. It continually switches back and forth. A shorter series of shots can be used for drama. While a strangely long series of shots is usually used for comedy. Sometimes the shots slowly become closer to the target's eyes as they switch between the two subjects.
Person 1: Where are you going?
Person 2: Home.
Person 1: You're not going anywhere!
