In football, to 'bottle' or to have 'bottled' something is to throw away a lead or a good chance of winning when you've been on the front foot. More specifically, it is when a team in a leading position loses that lead spectacularly, directly impacting the outcome of the match or competition

bottled it 

When someone decides to opt out of a rather nerve racking task, instead of just growing some gonads and doing it.

bottled water 

The 3 dollar-per-quart version of the essence of life. This is justified by running tap water through a filter and slapping "liquid hydration formula" on the label of the bottles.
This isn't just bottled water. It's a *liquid hydration formula*!

Skeptical reference to renewable energy sources such as biofuels, wind, and solar-electric. So-called because of the perceived naiveté of renewable energy proponents.

Something a lot of people buy without realizing that it is free everywhere else.
