Get the peter the fence-jumping half-mexicanmug. A shortened form of "six in one-half dozen in the other".
Used to represent or describe the same outcome of two circumstances.
50/50.

You could take the highway, or take city roads. It doesn't really matter, they both take 10 minutes, it's six in one-half dozen.

Get the Six in one-half dozenmug. This is a very old rule of thumb: it is the calculation applied to a man's age that provides the age in a woman that he is most naturally attracted to physically. (Things change of course once you begin to actually TALK! :-o )
In recent years it has been misapplied to mean the lowest age that would be considered "decent" for him to date.
This new interpretation of the rule is actually quite bizarre when you consider the remarkable range of maturity among adults of both sexes at all ages.

That 50 year old think's he'll be able to romance that 32 year old. I'm not surprised he's attracted to her - she is the proverbial "half-your-age-plus-seven" - but let's see how far they really go together.

Get the half-your-age-plus-sevenmug. A clarification: the formula mentioned to determine WHEN an inappropriate relationship becomes appropriate is incorrect. The correct formula is to double the difference between the appropriate age of the younger person and the younger person's actual age. Conversely, this will equal the difference between the appropriate age of the older person and the older person's actual age. A SIMPLER FORMULA: The older person's age plus 14 minus twice the younger person.
Tim is 46; his girlfriend is 27. He shouldn't date under 30 according to the half-your-age-plus-seven rule; she shouldn't date anyone over 40. The relationship becomes appropriate in six years: 2 x (30-27) or 46-40, OR 46 + 14 - (2 x 27).

Get the half-your-age-plus-sevenmug. Years ago this rule-of-thumb stated that a man is most attracted physically to a woman half his age plus seven. But in recent years this rule has been perverted. The new meaning is that dating a woman younger than "half your age plus seven" is considered anything from "inappropriate" to "indecent".
How superficial is that.
Other superficial rules have fallen away over time.
- Religion: In our society today, most people approve of a romance where the participants have different religions. Right?
- Height: It's ok for the woman to be taller than the man. No?
- Race/Ethnicity: They might be different races, ethnicities, or come from vasty different cultures / nations, and that is ok, right?
- Gender: A majority even approve of same-sex relationships.
But G-d forbid that a 50 year old man should date a 31 year old woman? This is indecent?
If you really are judging other peoples romantic relationships by this "half plus seven" rule, you need to do some soul searching.

That young guy is complaining because the women he's attracted to is dating an older man. He says they break the "half your age plus seven" rule. But hey, they sure look happy together!

Get the six of one, half dozen of the othermug. One of the farce Harry Potter novels. Harry Potter finds a book written by the Half-Black Prince, who is none other than Barack Obama. At first, Harry learns many interesting things from the book, like about Hope. His friends tell him to throw it away because it contains occasional sentences like "I am a Muslim and support terrorists" and "I want to become leader of the Fourth Reich in America"
This books leads up to the point where Harry will do battle with the anti-christ (Obama) and destroy him.
