Lead-Paint Job

From Tidewater Pidgin and Qarsherskiyan English, a Lead-Paint Job means a shooting. It is inferred that paint means blood and lead means lead bullets in this case, when pondering the origin of the term, which first surfaced by at least 1998 in downtown Newport News, VA from the slang and terminology of a now irrelevant gang that was mostly comprised of Qarsherskiyan Vodou practitioners.

All roads lead to rome

No matter what path you take, you will always end up in the same place. Represents an inevitabilistic worldview, one where you cannot do anything to change what will happen. That what is happening, no matter how bad it seems, was destined to happen. All

Rome symbolizes something you can't avoid. Could be a place. A feeling. A person. And thus, the detached emotional state of finding yourself in a lonely and depressing, yet familiar situation. Or, it could represent life and death. In a lifetime, you lose everything. People you know; people you love, and eventually, yourself. There is nothing you can do to stop the cycle of life from occurring.

Life is a constant struggle of moving on from the things that happened in the past. People lie to you. Bad things happen to you. Can you really forget these things? No, you always end up back in Rome.

The white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland, commonly associated with this statement, symbolizes the anxiety caused by the unstoppable passage of time. Time is always ticking, and time is the separation between past loss, current joy, and future loss. Slowly but surely, you will lose everything until you experience the ultimate loss: Your life.

No matter what, all good things must come to an end.
Person 1: No matter what, every relationship I'm in ends in heartbreak. Is it all my fault?
Person 2: No, son, all roads lead to Rome.

Person 1: I love video games. However, every time I have fun on a game, it eventually gets boring, and I switch to a new game. The cycle never ends.

Person 2: You're just wasting time, kid. All roads lead to Rome.

lead dinner

Shooting yourself in the mouth, suicide, usually used in a sarcastic tone whenever one makes a mistake.
When the waitress said "Enjoy your meal', I said "Thanks you too." Looks like it's time for a nice lead dinner.

lead differential

The awkward situation faced by many dog walkers crossing paths when one is on a lead, the other isnt (although many variants are possible with more than one dog per owner.)

The dog owner who has not put their dog on a lead is worried that the owner who has put their dog on a lead is cosidering them to not be in adequate control of their animal.

Likewise the owner who has their dog on a lead may feel they are not giving the dog enough freedom.

Normally resolves itself in one of 3 ways.

1. The non leaded dog owner says 'He's friendly' and the comment is confirmed by the dogs behaviour.

2. The non leaded dog annoys the leaded dog, the leaded dog owner expressed disapproval and apologies are made usually ('Hes normally SOOOOOO friendly!')

3. The owner of the non leaded dog puts their dog on a lead.
-To dog, as if it can understand, while putting lead on it.-

'Sorry mate. Lead differential!'
