Can't see the forest through the trees.

When a person focuses too much on small detail (trees), and misses the big picture (forest).

Stressed out person on vacation: "we have to awake at 4:00am, eat breakfast at 5:00am, goto the tour at 6:00am, arrive at the park 1 hour later, buy this, see that, go here, go there... are you writing this down!"

me: "how about, I'm on vacation, I'll be resting and meet you for lunch."

me behind the other person's back: "yikes, that person Can't see the forest through the trees."

Can of Whoop Ass

One of the most over used and lamest of all sayings. Bears little meaning anymore. In the same outdated category as terms "dont go there" and "talk to the hand"

Jimmy:"You better watch it or I'll open up a can of Whoop ass".

Billy:"You better watch out that the year 1992 has discovered you have ventured into the future."

Can Opener

A slang term for a Speculum, the tool commonly used to open one's ass hole for object removal, or in rare cases, surgery.

Today students, we will be preforming a simple operation of foreign object removal from the anus. The object we will be removing today is a butt plug. To start we put the patient in the fetal position and insert the can opener. We simply crank the can opener in a clockwise rotation to widen the anus until it is wide enough that the butt plug can simply be removed with tongs. Should the butt plug not easily come out, use some pliers or something. Just whatever you do, DO NOT stick your hand or fingers in there. God knows what else has been in there.
