Not Your Seven and Six

A Mod expression for the 1960s. Mod was an aspirational working class youth culture which used sharp and sartorial style as a rebellious statement against their allotted place in life so many expressions were associated with this. So English expression 'at sixes and sevens' means in a physical or metaphorical mess, all over the place, and was used by Shakespeare. But the price of t shirts in Woolworth's selling discounted which were inferior quality clothing to that which the Mods aspired, was seven shillings and sixpence written 7/6- . The two references materialized in the Mod terms 'Not your 7/6' meaning something was not cheap and/or messy clothing

"The mod lifestyle was about conspicuous spending on quality goods. Suits had to be tailored, not bought off-the-peg, and anyone who did turn up at an all-nighter wearing a low-cost version of mod fashion would be labelled a seven and six. The numbers are a reference to pre-decimalized British currency and the cost of cheap T-shirts in Woolworths." Fraser McAlpine BBC World Service

"Of course it's a nice suit what did you think? Real mohair mate not your seven and six- "

"She turned up lookin' a bit seven and six to be honest I wouldn't date her again"

Not Your Champion

Bill Burr is...

Hym "Not your champion, progressives. He just criticized progressives like Cody Johnston for denying that cancel culture was a thing. He totally did that! He used Mel Gibson as an example! He was like 'SEE! Mel Gibson said the Jews were controlling everything and look at him!' But he WAS canceled until he recanted which totally DOESN'T make it see like the Jews control everything."

Not your problem

Neither is Anti-Semitism! Neither is Palestinian genocide! That one isn't even vaguely analogous to any of YOUR problems.

Hym "It's not your problem. But neither is anything else that isn't happening directly to you. So, whether or not a problem is yours has any relationship to how you act in the world."

Not your mom

Yeah, no shit. My mom's not a filth-slut.

Filth-slut "I'm not your mom!"

Hym "Why would I, a genius and the greatest mind who has ever lived, confuse you with my mother? Are you calling my mom a filth-slut?"

Not your dad

I'm not half-a-retard so how could you possibly be my father?

A retard "I'm not your dad!"

Hym "Why? Am I drooling on myself or something? Do I look like half-a-retard to you? Because what are you fucking idiots going to do without me other than get roast by the climate change? Your ass is going to be a popsicle the day after I die from brain fluid."

NOT YOUR SLAVE

When your wife is a Werewolf & you a Maggot. Not your slave.

Did you know Adam’s wife is a werewolf? Not your slave O’Malley. Headspin.

not your first Cangaroo

When you want to become good at something, but you lack the necessary experience, knowledge, or skills to perform it at the level or standard you expect of yourself. This often creates a gap between your ambition and your current ability, leading to frustration or self-doubt until you gain more practice and understanding.

When the speaker made a grammatical mistake it was clear that English was not his first Cangaroo.
The person was visibly sad, because they didn't do well on their test, and I reminded them that this subject was not their first Cangaroo.
Tennis was at one point not your first Cangaroo, but now you are a proper can-can tennis player
