3 sheets to the wind

To understand this phrase we need to enter the arcane world of nautical terminology. Sailors' language is, unsurprisingly, all at sea and many supposed derivations have to go by the board. Don't be taken aback to hear that sheets aren't sails, as landlubbers might expect, but ropes (or occasionally, chains). These are fixed to the lower corners of sails, to hold them in place. If three sheets are loose and blowing about in the wind then the sails will flap and the boat will lurch about like a drunken sailor. (credit to phrases.org.uk)
When he attempted to leave bar, He did not get far as he was already 3 sheets to the wind.

the world is yours

That whole world out there is yours. Nobody can take it away from you but your own self, your state of mind, and your fear. It is yours to own, live in and make the most of. Life is what you make it.

manny the war pig 

a creature that was once believed to be mythical, but has recently surfaced in the mountains of the pacific northwest. It can be distinguished by its high pitch shrill when attacked or provoked by a smaller predator. The war pig will attempt to win you over through free buffet dinners and easily detectable lies, when called out on these lies the war pig will back track and change subjects to another lie, the origins of the war pig are very uncertain. Some claim he is from Louisiana, others Arkansas, or California. But most tend to believe that the war pig has strong ties to Cuba, and may be the scientific creation of one Fidel Castro. ON average the war piglets take 13 months in the womb to fully grow and only then are they ready to be raised by their grandparents.
