note to self 

Expression used as an aside in conversation as a self-reminder for future reference.

The phrase is a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement of our era of Daytimers, Palm Pilots and other personal organizers. It is said as if the speaker was recording his thoughts on tape or some other medium.

Note to self: don't mention ex-girlfriends on next date.

So ... interested in dessert?

Check yo self 

A command that is blurted out, usually angrily, by one individual to another as a condemnation of the latter's behaviour, actions or poor choice of words. Those who indict another with such a phrase normally do so if the said individual has severely offended or insulted them, and are calling upon the individual to think about what they have done and atone for their lack of judgement.

Variations of this phrase, such as "Check yo self foo!" and "Check yo self before ya wreck yo self" are also used to communicate the same message: correct your behaviour (idiot/before you get in trouble)

Check yo self before ya wreck yo self. them shotgun bullets are bad fo' ya health!

Nagging Self-Awareness 

The little voice in the back of your head that warns when something could end poorly for you. Commonly confused with the conscience. A Nagging Self-Awareness is different from a conscience in the sense that, while a conscience generally stops one from doing something that could harm, or hinder everyone involved, a Nagging Self-Awareness tends only to speak up when it's owner in particular stands to lose something from the deal.

"Ol' Frank always did have a talent for ignoring his Nagging Self-Awareness."

note to self 

A humorous out-loud reminder/aside meant to indicate your future plans or a lesson you have just learned, dependent on the disparity between one's actions and one's inner thoughts. Originated with Norm McDonald's into-the-mini-cassette-recorder bits between jokes on Saturday Night Live.

(Several hot girls walk into the room, past a frat guy and his friends.)

"Note to self: avoid mentioning that I sleep with a teddy bear tonight."
