I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today

A phrase common to New York city, implying that one will pay another back for a hamburger on the next tuesday, or any tuesday, in exchange for the hamburger on the day he is asking for it. This phrase is only implying that the hamburger will be paid back for however, and is taken advantage of by bad people, leaving the people who actually wish to pay back the money looked at as untrustworthy.

If there's a pickle in your pocket it is probably tuesday

A phrase from a popular story where a flute player practices too much and ends up hating the thing she loves. After being given a pickle that "gets rid of problems" she attempts to play for the king and her flute disappears. Meaning her problem became her flute. This concert happened to be on a Tuesday in the story. This is used to say do not lose the enjoyment of doing something by doing it too much.

Friend 1: I just can't seem to wanna play this game anymore, I just get too stressed and always wanna win.
Friend 2: Well, they always say 'if there's a pickle in your pocket it is probably tuesday'. You should probably just play for fun before it ruins your love for playing.
