buy the ticket, take the ride

(from Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas)
Creating, and being involved in, a situation that may get you in way over your head-- but deciding that turning back would be a rather uninteresting option

buy a fucking vowel

Phrase borrowed (more or less) from TV's "Wheel of Fortune", indicating disrespect for someone's mental abilities. Since generally the contestants on Wheel aren't exactly Einstein, telling someone to buy a fucking vowel is about equivalent to "Get a clue, moron!"

You think the War on Drugs is working? Buy a fucking vowel!

President Bush wants to help the middle class, eh? Maybe he should buy a fucking vowel with his family fortune.

buy the farm

To die, espescially in combat; most likely from the idea that a dead soldier's death benifit would serve to pay off his family's morgtage. Often shortened to "bought it."

Chuck Lindberg later recalled the hazards of lugging a tank that carried seventy-two pounds of... napalm... under twelve hundred pounds of pressure... "It was dangerous work. A lot of guys bought the farm trying that."

--James Bradley, in Flags of our Fathers

Investor 2: Buy the dip. The Bernank will make sure that all prices are rising.
Investor 1: What?
Investor 2: Buy the fucking dip, you fucking idiot.
