get back on the horse

Def. 1 (verb) To attempt the same challenging action after failure. Apparently derived from an old adage: "You have to get back on the horse that threw you."

Def. 2 (verb) To get back into a habit. Traditionally this would refer to a good habit, but sarcastically might refer to a bad habit or addiction. Possible confusion with the phrase "on the sauce".
Def. 1 - I know you burned the turkey trying to cook Thanksgiving dinner, but you can't let that stop you if you really want to become a chef. You'll just have to get back on the horse and try cooking it again.

Def. 2 - I'd been trying to do 30 minutes of exercise every day, but my work schedule eventually got so busy I could never make it to the gym. Things have calmed down quite a bit recently though and I keep meaning to get back on the horse and go work out again.

going back on the list

When you have sex with someone that you have had sex with in the past -- But it only counts if you have slept with someone after you go back on the list because then it wouldn't really be going back on the the list now would it.

Back on my bullshit

To be back on one's bullshit is to regress to a former state of being, often a rather unhealthy and self-destructive state. It implies falling back into one's old ways and habits after a brief period of "self-reinvention".

Being back on one's bullshit is not necessarily a bad thing per se. Perhaps that person had come to terms with their quirks, absurdities, and insatiable/irrational desires. No longer do they try to repress those self-destructing behaviours and compulsions in hopes of becoming better, because they know that one day they will eventually give in; they can run but they can't hide from their true sordid selves. In other words, they continue to seek self-improvement and strive towards self-mastery, but they don't try to repress their former bullshit. Besides, that bullshit defines you and who you are and you can't feel like "you" without it.

Back on Track

Back on Track is the hardest main level in Geometry Dash. No one has EVER beat it legitimately before, it is almost impossible. It’s even harder than the hardest legitimately verified user-made level!
