that tree is far away

The expression "that tree is far away" is used in situations to express that the last statement made by that speaker is irrelevant and unimportant information that can be ignored, rather than repeated. It's best used as a reply when a person mumbles something, an accompanying individual cannot understand and asks for them to re-say their last line, only to be told "that tree is far away," indicating that what they originally spoke was not worth repeating.

It's derived from a Mitch Hedberg comedy act:
"I mumble a lot on stage, I'm a mumblerer. But sometimes what I mumble is some insignificant shit. Like I'll be walking down the street with my friend, and I will have said something, but he didn't hear me, so he says "What!?" SO I'll say it again, and again he had not heard me, so he'd say, "What!?" And now by this time I am yelling "That tree is very far away!"
Two people are walking to the subway...
Person A: (mumbles) Smells like popcorn in here
Person B: What?
Person A: Nothing
Person B: ???
Person A: That tree is far away

holiday tree

A pine tree that is either plastic or real, in which people decorate for christmas. But the people who sell them call them holiday trees instead of christmas trees, because they didnt want to offend anyone, except people who celebreate christmas. So it won't offend anyone who doesnt celebrate christmas even though it offends everyone who celebrates christmas. Who ever came up with this idea of calling it a holiday tree should get a punch in the face and a CHRISTMAS TREE UP THE ASS.

Charlie Brown Christmas tree

1) A pathetic little twig that's left on the Christmas tree lot on Christmas Eve.

2) Any pathetic-looking thing that might possibly be redeemed with some love.
1) I have no money, so I'm going to wait until Christmas Eve and get me a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

2) Everyone told Muffy that her computer geek boyfriend was a loser, but now he's pulling down $100G a year--turns out he was a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
