Robbing Peter to pay Paul

To take something from one sorce and use it towards another.

Many folks believe that this metaphor has its origin in 16th-century England, when part of the estate of Saint Peter's Cathedral in Westminster was appropriated to pay for repairs to Saint Paul's in London.

Jacob: I think I'm going to apply for another credit card so I can pay off some of my bills.

David: Robbing Peter to pay Paul, eh?! Just be carful not to get into debt.

ROBLOXian According to the my made-up Lore.

Humanoids Used In The Game ROBLOX ,

ROBLOXians are Humanoids Who Can Wear Accessories That most of the time costs ROBUX a (bullshit) Currency used in this Universe., The body of a ROBLOXian is made but not limited to : Plastic And an Exo-Skeleton that provides them with in-human resistance such as Sword stabbings, bullets, Explosions etc.

But sometimes an explosion or a hard hit can rip a limb out of the body. The Robloxian acknowledges this but if its not its right arm he still can use weapons etc.

Warriors on this word are called ''Bloxxers'' Who are known to destroy everything or kill anyone in sight. There are the ODers too. but this is for another text. Anyway, Once a limb is teared off the body the robloxian can no longer attach it back.

*Bloxxer Blows up Robloxian's arm*
Bloxxer : Oh, Sorry Your ok?
Robloxian: Well we are robloxian's so i guess..Its fine
