Janet: Today is our anniversary, but all Joe wants to do is stay home and tile the shower.
Janet's mom: Serves you right! You could have married Billy Ackerman, but noooo. You had to have someone handy. You should have listened to me when I warned you that he was do-it-yourself-centered.

A command for someone to get lost (especially from the person that says it), usually as a result of extreme annoyance. Literally it means for them to masturbate themselves, so they aren't inclined to harrass and receive sexual pleasure from the person they are annoying. It's more stinging than "fuck off" because it implies that they could not or should not find anyone else to have sex with, so they need to use the self-manipulation.

Not reaching one's full potential. The origin of the term is "short selling" a stock (i.e., betting against a company). The "short seller" essentially "borrows" stock from a company and agrees to pay back the company whatever the stock is worth at some point in the future. The purchaser sells the stock immediately, anticipating that the price will fall over the next few months. If the stock price actually falls, the purchaser will pay back the company less money than what the purchaser sold the stock for.
Jane: "I'm not good at science classes."
John: "I think your selling yourself short."
Jane: "Want to see a movie tonight?"
John: "Let's not sell ourselves short here. I heard Warren G is putting on a concert in Williamsburg."
