Son: "Mom, can I have some pudding?"
Mom: "You haven't eaten your meat yet."
Son: "But mom!"
Mom: "Son, you know that: 'If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding. How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
Son: "Don't be quoting Pink Floyd on me again..."
Mom: "You haven't eaten your meat yet."
Son: "But mom!"

A come on or chat up line, usually found in use in the west of Ireland, especially in Limerick by students who come from a farming background. At the present moment not one person has scored using this chat up line.
Farmer walks into a bar sees a beautiful woman:
Man: "Have you got land?"
Woman: "..." (stares at him and walks away)
Man: "Have you got land?"

If you don’t have a seat at the table; you ARE the menu — the American political reality that proves REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!!
Another version of this saying is “If you don’t have a seat at the table; then you are on the menu.” Meaning: there are a lot of people who are going to get rights, privileges, and tax cuts at the expense of front line workers and people living on the margins.
This is most easily seen in areas where both gerrymandering and redistricting are used to disenfranchise minority voters.
Another area where this is seen is in the backlash against a woman’s right to choose. As of September 9th 2023, the young women coming of age in my family have fewer reproductive and healthcare options than did the generation that crossed into womanhood ahead of them.
Representation Matters and if you don’t have a seat at the table you are on the menu; indeed, if you don’t have a seat at the table you ARE the menu!

"So, have you seen Twilight?"
"Yeah! I love that movie!"
"Hey baby, have you seen Twilight?"
"Yeah, you wanna be my Edward Cullen?"

This phrase is easier to understand if it is read as "You can't eat your cake, and have it too". Obviously once you've eaten your cake, you won't have it any more. Used for expressing the impossibility of having something both ways, if those two ways conflict.
He works so hard to pay for that fancy house of his that he never has any time to stay home and enjoy it.
Yeah, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
Yeah, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
