rip the sleeves off

To "one up" somebody. To make somebody look less kool.

Derived from tearing the sleeves off a leather jacket, turning it into a leather vest.

James Dean: Joe, I've been dyin' since the day I was born.

Joe: Well Jimmy, I've been livin' since the day I was born, and I've been livin' like I'm dyin'.

Bystander: Whoa, Joe! Way to rip the sleeves off James Dean!

Sleeves out of my vest

Bill: I gave that treadmill to the guy that bought my car to get him to say yes.

Bob: But you were already planning to give that to charity.

Bill: Exactly. I gave him the sleeves out of my vest.

Shifty Sleeves

A phrase used to describe a creepy man/woman at a bar or party to alert the crowd that this person looks suspicious and may drop 'something' into your drink.

Creepy Guy walks over to Woman

Woman (as she covers her drink): "Step away from my drink Shifty Sleeves!"

OR

"Watch out everyone that guy has shifty sleeves"
