back to black

going back to what you know.
trying something out, but realizing it wasn't for you, and going back to what you know. black has more of a lower connotation to it - versus going back to "white."
got into a relationship and changed aspects of the way you live and your life. got out of the relationship (exonerated yourself, more like it) and going back to your life (just the way YOU like it) = back to black.

going back to your ex, because that's what you know = back to black.

giving up staying straight, and giving in to your addiction = back to black.

Kathleen, put your goddamn clothes back on!

A line shouted at actress KATHLEEN TURNER as she was on stage acting in a 2002 Broadway production of THE GRADUATE. The line was shouted during a full frontal nude scene featuring the overweight 40-something actress. The heckler was PAUL MICHAEL MERCURIO, acting as part of a prank for "The Opie and Anthony" radio show. Audio of the entire stunt (Mercurio and two other audience members had running tape recorders in their shirt pockets at the time) can be heard on YouTube by simply typing in the infamous line.

(KATHLEEN TURNER is on stage as 'Mrs. Robinson' in the Broadway production of "The Graduate". She drops a towel, showing her (horrific) naked body to the audience. Just then...)

(AUDIENCE MEMBER, later revealed to be comedian Paul Michael Mercurio, stands up in his seat and SCREAMS): "Kathleen, put your goddamn clothes back on!"

(A WOMAN in the audience can be heard GASPING)

Go into Google and start typing in "Kathleen put your goddamn clothes back on." Google "suggests" the entire sentence as you reach the word "your". Seems significant enough to warrant an entry on UD.
