Murphy's Far Falling Unreachable Theory

The theory that when we accidentally drop an object (where ever we happen to be at the moment) it no doubt falls or rolls to the farthest, unreachable place. It is a mysterious theory that never fails to happen.

I was putting on my make up and my lipstick fell on the floor. Murphy's Far Falling Unreachable Theory kicked in because it was no where to be found. I had to hunt and excavate the room in order to finally find it behind the dresser under the rug.

in my far from humble opinion

An assertive phrase to introduce one's opinion by someone who is supremely confident it is the only valid viewpoint that makes logical sense. It is often abbreviated to IMFFHO. It should not be used by the faint hearted or those that cannot back it up with facts.

In my far from humble opinion, Matt Oxley writes like he's sitting on a time-bomb waiting for it to explode so he can be the first to report it
In my far from humble opinion, Valentino Rossi will never win another world championship

HFFA (Hot From Far Away)

When you see a girl from far away and think that she is hot, but then the closer she comes to you, the uglier she gets. This can be very horrifying for people.

Mark: Yo Alex, look at that hot chick all the way down the road.
Alex: Daaaamn, she's banging and she's coming toward us

Mark: Oh shit, she's not that hot after all.
Alex: Dude, she's not a she....That's a guy...That's Thadius
Mark: I guess she (I mean he) was only HFFA (Hot From Far Away)

As far as you can push a coin

A person, idea, or anything else that won't get very far.

That old car will get you about as far as you can push a coin.

Far Ballar La Vecchia

"Far Ballar La Vecchia" is a typical italian trash song originally played by italian artist Doctor Clapis. It is a clear invitation not to neglect the elderly relatives, reminding young people the value of the company of their grandparents and uncles, especially in the summer (do not forget them in homes but bring them to dance!). The song is connected with a particular dancing move which consists in shaking your hand back and forth like an egyptian, but faster.

"Portami all'ospizio, la città del vizio!"

"Cos'è questa musica mi spieghi" "è una musica che si balla così (he then shakes his hand back and forth)"

"A Far Ballar La Vecchia!!!!"
