Eat the cake, Anna Mae

Eat the cake, Anna Mae (used in Beyonce ft. Jay Z's song "Drunk In Love," is a reference to Tina Turner. Before she became uber famous, her name was Anna Mae. When she was in a diner, after she released her first single, two kids came up to her and asked for her autograph, not her husband's, Ike. Ike got jealous. He got some cake so they could celebrate, but when Anna Mae didn't want to eat it, he said, "Eat the cake, Anna Mae!" and pretty much forced it in her mouth and started attacking her. She was able to get away from her abusive partner, and start her musical career.

Eat the cake, Anna Mae

From Jay-Z's verse on Beyoncé's "Drunk in Love". although he got it from the movie about Tina and Ike Turner, what he is really doing is saying that Beyoncé eat his ass.
"My girl is hella freaky bruh"
"How?"
"I was all like 'Eat the cake, Anna Mae now eat the cake anna mae!' and the bitch actually ate my ass"

Eat his cake

When a girl goes down on a guy's chia-pet's-length pubes that are longer than his now long forgotten penis.

you can't have your cake and eat it too

This phrase is easier to understand if it is read as "You can't eat your cake, and have it too". Obviously once you've eaten your cake, you won't have it any more. Used for expressing the impossibility of having something both ways, if those two ways conflict.
He works so hard to pay for that fancy house of his that he never has any time to stay home and enjoy it.

Yeah, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
