Wish in one hand, shit in the other.

"Wish in one hand, shit in the other. See which one gets filled first." When a person wants the impossible.

Tom: Well Joe, Wish in one hand, shit in the other.

In one eye and out the other

Failure to comprehend what you are reading because you are distracted or not focused.

I don't know why I am even trying to read this book - I can't focus with all this noise. Its just going in one eye and out the other!

Six of one half dozen of the other

Used to compare two things that are the same.

Half/Half
50/50

If I go left or right i'll turn up at the same place in the end. It's six of one half dozen of the other.

In one eye and out the other

Something visually boring - to the point of your eyes losing focus - that numbs your brain.

A sermon from dad elicits the "in one ear and out the other" response while a friend's boring home movie gets an "in one eye and out the other" reaction.

I got one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel.

Something that a NY Mobster might tell a reporter when he knows that his time is limited. He's done some really outrageous shit to other gangsters, and as a result, he is a dead man. Like a moth caught on a hot light, he knows it's wrong, but the danger gives him such a charge that he really has ceased to care. A guy in this position would say this and really mean it.

"I got one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel." "We live this way, but we don't care."

One foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel

2 phrases:

"One foot in the grave"- half dead, dying, death is catching up. Tired, old, metaphorical

"Foot on a banana peel"- funny, humorous, cartoon, things are going comically wrong, events are not working in one's favor. *Picture* stepping on a rake and being hit in the face with the handle. Knee slap comedy

One foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel expression-

damned if you do, damned if you don't...

Guy 1: "how are you doing?"
Guy 2: *expression meaning* on one side (one foot) I've really gone to hell, or im working on getting there- and on the other side (other foot) it's pretty stupid, but entertaining to watch, the bullshit that's been happening to me or that I've been outing putting myself through...

one foot in front of the other

grinding. survive. slow and steady one day at a time keep on workin stay focused. the goal here is to not let too many thoughts and plans affect your success at the simple task in the present - which is the main thing that matters, right now, if you want to move forward in life.

hey bro i know your life is shit right now but keep on keepin one foot in front of the other and you'll come out of this.
