Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

A sarcastic phrase meant to downplay the complaint or misfortune of another person, similar to playing the world's tiniest violin with one's fingers.

It is a reference to the assassination of President Lincoln. Can be substituted with any phrase referring to a tragic event, such as, "Other than that, how was the flight, Sullie?"

"I just found out I have to work this weekend."
"Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"

Drunker than 10 indians

A euphamism used mostly in the upper midwest, to signify one who is really really drunk, possibly close to passing out. Plays on the fact native americans do not hold their liquor well.

Last night in Sturgis I got drunker than 10 Indians.

Jeremy Kyle, to be worse than

Essentially to be a hypocrite. To tell people to do as you say, not what you do. From British daytime TV host Jeremy Kyle who constantly berates his guests for their bad behaviour then goes home to smoke crack and beat his wife. In the meantime, Graham, the show's counsellor, takes the guests backstage and takes advantage of them.

Jeremy Kyle, to be worse than:

"My dad just told me off for wanking in the bath. He's worse than Jeremy Kyle."

better than expected

better than expected: it's the new way out of something.

The economy after the 2008 crash seems to be recovering at fast pace at the incessant sound of "better than expected". the only problem is that the predictions of what's "expected" are made by the same guys that didn't see the worse coming... when it was really better.

dude1: Hey dude? Is your wife really cheating on you and you still in this good mood?

dude2: Well.. it's because I thought she was double timing me with 3 different guys. Turned out to be only with two of them.

dude1: Oh, I get it! you're into the whole.. Better than expected thing

Better Saved Than Sorry

A pretty lame pun some people say before saving a game almost neurotically.

John: You've already saved your game ten times in the last twenty minutes!
Jim: Better saved than sorry!
