The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence

Refers to the way we tend to look at other people’s lives and other things that we don't have in general through rose colored glasses.

Comes from the idea of looking at a neighbours lawn and seeing it as better looking, healthier and overall greener then your own when in reality you’re just ignoring anything negative about it and downplaying everything positive about your own.
Friend#1: You’re so lucky, you went to a great college, have money and you’re so smart and will probably accomplish more by the time you’re 30 then I will in my entire life.

Friend#2: Are you serious? I’ve always envied you. People expect so much out of me. I’ve never been able to have a life because of studying and other schoolwork. If I get less then an A, people freak out like I got an F. I may accomplish that much, but with all the pressure on me I’ll probably be insane by the time I’m 35. In so many ways, I wish I could just be a regular guy with normal expectations and a normal life.

Friend#1: Wow, I honestly never looked at it that way. I guess it's true that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

blue-green eyes

The girl who has blue-green eyes is a fun, exciting person. The one everyone else envys. She's beautiful even without makeup. When she walks into a room all of the men and even the women stare. She's the truest friend you could ever have and a good keeper of secrets. Don't look into her eyes too long because you may fall under her spell and become addicted. She's a keeper.
I can't stop thinking of her; it must be her blue-green eyes.

Green Light Redemption

Someone performs Green Light Redemption when they have been honked at for sitting at a green light for too long after it changed from red. In order to make up for sitting at the light for too long, they will speed off and stay about two car lengths ahead of the person who honked at them.
"The light has been green for two seconds. We better see some intense Green Light Redemption for this shit."
