Commonly made with ramen noodles, canned tuna or chicken, ranch, pepperoni, summer sausage, pickles, and any other items you want. Sometimes put into a flour tortilla.

I'm going to make a prison break for dinner.

Breaking news!

Sentient chicken pot-pie doesn't like fire. Condemns Self-Immolation.

Hym "Breaking news! I'm running out of 'things that go in ovens' to call him. A Thanksgiving turkey! Living lasagna! Assorted bakery foods. Muffin (a repeat), Brownies (Which SOUNDS racist but isn't), Birthday Cake (Just seems lazy), A ziti? Baked ziti? I don't even know what that is. It's hard to think of non-bakery things. Meatloaf (another repeat). Roast beef? Do jews have baked goods? That'd be like a poptart cooking a poptart, wouldn't it? Pizza. Calzones. A baby. You can cook a baby in an oven. So, that counts... Hmmm... Pie. Obviously. Stuffed hashbrowns... I need to cook more."

You don't hafta BREAK DA WALL DOWN to get inside!

What you eye-twinklingly tell one or more workmen who are hammering/prying away siding and/or timbers on a home or business in preparation to making repairs/renovations.

Anytime I come upon contractors doing outside carpentry work at a home or place of business along da main street downtown, I love jokingly saying to them, "You know, guys --- there IS da FRONT DOOR, if you wanna get in so badly! You could just open da door and walk through; you don't hafta BREAK DA WALL DOWN to get inside!" I usually get an equally-smart-alecky reply from them, as well, such as, "Oh, we know that, but we wanna be more subtle about our entry!", or "Yeah, we could, but this way is more fun!"

Breaking

Prostitution, selling your body, physical sex work. (Not online, in real life)

I'm getting ready to go breaking tonight.

I did my makeup and hair so I can go breaking.

I'm going to do some breaking so I have extra cash.
