when I were a lad...

Prefix to tale of hardship from which the individual emerged to live a more fulfilling and successful life than yours...

When I were a lad... I wore a cardboard box and ate dirt. But that didn't stop me from founding an Internet retail empire and making millions.

We'll sleep when we're dead.

Slogan printed on crew shirts for the US National Tour of Les Miserables. A quote from the production carpenter of the tour.

Person 1: "You guys started at midnight and went straight to 11pm that night? Don't you need to sleep?"

Person 2: "Sleep? Nah, we'll sleep when we're dead."

I'll Sleep When I Graduate!

Similar in meaning to saying "I'll sleep when I'm dead!"

Something a failing high school/college student says when they pull an all-nighter while they stay up studying for finals.

Student: I NEED TO STUDY!

Mother: Ok honey, just make sure to sleep well so you don't fall asleep while taking your test!

Student: Mom, are you crazy?!? I'LL SLEEP WHEN I GRADUATE!

from whence

If you use this, you are a dick. See whence.

Bill: "Take that wrench back from whence you got it little man!"

Scott: "Quit trying to sound intelligent you dwanker; it is simple 'whence.' There is no need to use the word 'from' with 'whence'; it is built into the word...so to speak.

Whenslie

She knows and feels way more than she expresses; she doesn't like to be complicated so she'll sweep things under the rug more than she should; but when she needs to defend herself, she will; she's obsessed with love but that's not the easiest road for her; she's a thinker and charismatic; her temper may come out of nowhere; she's creative and strong.

Whenslie means a fighter!
