nickels on the dime

This is a phrase that's used during negotiations.

It basically means that what you're asking for would make your share too large.

aka asking for 2 nickels per 1 dime
person 1: "So what percentage would I be taking?"
person 2: "I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen"
person 1: "I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine"
person 2: "Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime?"
person 1: "Fifteen"
person 2: "I'd do eight"
person 1: "twelve"
person 2: "seven"
person 1: "ugh fine, 10?"
person 2: "nine it is then"
person 1: "...deal"

Nickelback

Fuckin shitty band with really annoying songs like "Rockstar", that song makes me want to shoot myself. It should be titled "The Song that Never Ends" because it does sound like the song that never fuckin ends!! Also all their songs sound exactly the same. Why are people calling them "nu-metal", they are not nu-metal they are fuckin "pop-mainstream sell-out SHIT"
"Have you heard the new Nickelback song?"

Nickelback

Why do I hate Nickelback so much? They perpetuate the sadness of honoring mediocre and un-original non-creative music. Because of their unwillingness to actually think, the mindless masses are not forced to actually use their minds and demand better. Nickelback is a clear-cut example of why our art is in a state of stale, regurgitated darkness, and the true artists are forced to remain on the underground circuit. The longer this goes on, the worse our kids will have it.

Nickel Creek

A band that has origins in bluegrass music. Nickel Creek has expanded their sound and strayed from conventional bluegrass music. Their first album(the self titled one) was more of a traditional bluegrass sound. Their second album "This Side" pushed the boundaries of bluegrass music and explored more of the pop genre. Their thrid album, "Why Should The Fire Die" was pretty much acoustic rock. The group consists of Chris Thile-Mandolin, bazouki, lead vocals Sara Watkins-Lead vocals, fiddle, violin and Sean Watkins-Guitar and lead vocals.
Where can a teacher go
Wherever she thinks people need the things she knows.
Hey those books you gave us look good on the shelves at home
And we'll burn one in the fire teacher when in rome.
