Robbing Peter to pay Paul 

To take something from one sorce and use it towards another.

Many folks believe that this metaphor has its origin in 16th-century England, when part of the estate of Saint Peter's Cathedral in Westminster was appropriated to pay for repairs to Saint Paul's in London.

Black Peter 

Black Peter, a pseudo-celebrity personality of the Seattle/Bellevue/Mercer Island area, is almost exclusively infamous for adding the prefix "Black" before his name, as his last name remains virtually unknown. One of the premier urban freestyle rappers of the area, as well as an unparalleled dancer (his c-walk is legendary in three states), he also holds respect in many circles for being able to get away with calling himself "Black" Peter while sounding like a forty year old, white Jewish male.
Black Peter just came in and ate all my food, now my family won't be able to make it through the winter.

Twitchy Peter
