Clean someone else's manatee

Basically it means stop wasting my fucking time and go bug someone else. An example would be:

Person 1: Hey, hey, hey, hey, what do you think clouds taste like? Like, like cotten candy?

Person 2: God bro don't you got to clean someone else's manatee?

I'm shopping for someone else...

Da standard "please bear with me --- I'm not familiar with this type or purchase" preamble-remark dat you ruefully tell a store-employee whom you ask for assistance in finding/choosing one or more items dat you never use yourself, and so you have less of an idea of how to shop for it or maybe even where it's stocked in da store.

Two good examples of when you might tell a staffperson, "I'm shopping for someone else..." might be if you were looking for a type of media-entertainment (such as books, music, or movies) dat you have no interest in yourself, or if you merely lived a simple bachelor's existence and were procuring "fussy female stuff" items for a lady-friend, such as cosmetics, dress-up clothing, fancy table-setting accessories, etc.

Someone else's bonzai tree

Especially relevant in big companies. When you develop an intricate, sought after skill set, but never rise to the level that was possible from your early potential, that may have been/still could be achievable elsewhere.

Zach has a PhD from an ivy league college, and has built enviable experience, but has never risen above director level in the blue chip company he works for. He's become little more than someone else's bonzai tree, and should probably leave, in order to become a red wood.

Trynna get someone else to do their jobs

Laughable attempt at a put down by someone who themselves rarely contributes anything to society in general. They do have a sick lid though and are known for being absolute gold on the smash.

I've had a blue WKD and now feel hard as fuck so I'll throw some shade on the work chat about how some actually useful people are always 'Trynna get someone else to do their jobs' I'm fucking hilarious!

Don't shit in someone else's toilet

A term used for those who plan on going abroad. Don't always assume that the laws over there will be the same as in your home country, they may be different and you could get caught out. It causes terrible anxiety to get arrested or go through a judicial process in another country so be careful. A good example is if you plan on flying a drone in another country. The laws may be different and the foreigners may get more irate over it than those in your own country.

Person 1: I might fly my drone over Paris when I go.
Person 2: French law may be different, be careful. Don't shit in someone else's toilet!

something someone else hasn't already used

When you try to think of something good (usually to type as a comment) but the only good thing you can think of has already been used, so you try to think of something original.

Come on, I can't think of something someone else hasn't already used for a good comment.
