Guy: ....and I never when scuba diving with my pants off again. Anyway, how long you been living here?

Holding it on a string

When you need a shit, but don't go to the toilet straight away - instead you hold it in until when you do finally go to the toilet it comes out instantly with little to no effort.

Pushing on a string

A strategy that is fundamentally flawed and not capable of solving a chosen problem, even with tremendous effort.
In macroeconomics, the term refers a policy where central banks loosen monetary policy to increase the supply of money available for investment when there is little potential demand for investment, such as when firms have large cash reserves, underutilized production facilities, and large inventories and very limited consumer demand.

Gov wants to revive the economic strategy of pushing on a string by loosening monetary policy for the private sector during the slack in the economy.

Worm on a String

Worm(s) on a String™ are colorful and fuzzy worms that are, as the name implies, attached to a string, meaning that the "player" can make the worm "dance" using a small piece of white cardboard at the other end of the string. They are amazing.

Gerome: I have over six dozen Worm on a String.
Peter: jesus christ
