Chicago weighs more on a sunny day

An idiom used to explain how a seemingly negligible or "weightless" variable can have a massive, tangible impact on an outcome.
It refers to the physics concept of radiation pressure. Because light carries momentum, the sunlight hitting a city like Chicago on a clear day actually pushes down on it, adding roughly 300 lbs of physical force to the city's total weight.

Example 1:
Person A: "I only changed a single line of code and the entire server crashed. I don't get it."
Person B: "Chicago weighs more on a sunny day!"

Example 2:
Person A: "I barely touched the gas pedal and we spun out!"
Person B: "Chicago weighs more on a sunny day, man."

Example 3:
Him: "She broke up with me just because I didn't hold the door open?"
Her: "Chicago weighs more on a sunny day."

Example 4:
"If I had found my keys ten seconds faster, I'd be here. Chicago weighs more on a sunny day."

i hope you hit your ankle on a scooter

The worst type of pain. If someone tells you that they hope you hit your ankle on a scooter, they most likely want you to die. You are highly recommended to stay away from people who have ever said that to you, or anyone you know.

Arvin: I hope you hit your ankle on a scooter!
Mikael: *runs away, moves to another country*

A monke never gives up on a good banana

When a primate knows that the primate they most desire is a good one, they fight for it, and ensure both primates have the chance at happiness and sharing the banana.

A very silly monke messed up badly and lost his favourite banana, but he couldn't give up...he made himself better and eventually was reunited with his prize banana and made sure he never did anything so silly again...a monke never gives up on a good banana
