Swiss-cheese the job

Refers to either of two strategies for reducing the distress/fatigue/boredom of performing an extra-disagreeable task; you either "layer" the labor --- i.e., perform a few minutes' work on the yucky job, then go do something else for a while, then return and work some more on the drudgery-task, then take another break with less-agonizing labors to again relieve your feverish emotional suffering, and so on --- like the cheese and lunch-meat in a sandwich, or else you "poke holes" in the disgusting task --- i.e., perform one or more smaller random bits of the job at a time as your gumption permits, so that the overall endeavor becomes more and more "fragmented and hollowed" (like the holes in Swiss cheese) as time goes on --- until the task eventually gets wholly completed by being gradually-but-steadily "chipped away at" over the course of a few days until it's all gone.

I soooo didn't wanna clean out all da musty crap in da storage-shed out back... the task seemed just too daunting and tedious to try to tackle all in one go. So I decided to Swiss-cheese the job instead --- just kinda "picking at the edges" of the jumbled heap over the course of a couple weeks --- and eventually I had the entire pile removed and the floor nicely swept out again.

Swiss cheese with no bread to land on

To be beyond all hope. At the end of you rope with nowhere left to go. A desperate feeling in a hopeless situation.

After John's family was killed and he lost his house, he felt like swiss cheese with no bread to land on.

The Swiss Cheese Plan

A long winded way of saying “We don’t have a real plan.”

“Have you heard of the Swiss Cheese Plan?”
“Yeah it sucks, one of the drabbest plans out there, thoroughly needs changing.”

Jade-Swiss Cheese

a smelly type of cheese infested with rodents and worms. It usually has a rather poop-ish stench that you can smell across the Universe.

Watch out for that Jade-Swiss Cheese..... it'll make you barf out your insides.....
