don't eat the big white mint

A phrase used to ridicule someone's stupidity, "big white mint" refers to a urinal cake. Thus "don't eat the big white mint" implies that someone is stupid enough to mistake the urinal cake for a mint and eat it.

I was on a date with this really dumbass guy, and he said he had to go to the bathroom. I said, OK, don't eat the big white mint.

Don't Bring The Brullox If You Can't Handle The Rullex

When a "self-proclaimed rapper" gets high, then pissed off and tries to rhyme the words "brawl" and "ruckus," the words must be changed into words that don't exist, thus, "Don't bring the brawl if you can't handle the ruckus" becomes "Don't bring the brullox if you can't handle the rullex."

"Don't bring the brullox if you can't handle the rullex."
