leaving to college

Getting the hell away from your parents and the stupid people you grew up with; sometimes causes becoming an asshole and thinking you're better than everyone left in your hometown.

"I can't wait til I'm leaving to college! It's gonna be awesome, bro!"

Leave it to Deaver

What Washington's crooked higher echelon said during the Raygun years when crafty good ol' boy "Devious Deaver" was Prune-Face's Deputy Chief of Staff, anytime they were a subject of investigation by Congress, they would always just trust "The Deav" to fib and waffle on their behalf.

Whenever ol' Ronnie's shifty-eyed administration officials came under scrutiny, they would just tell "The Deav" about the situation, and then assure each other, "No worries now --- we'll just leave it to Deaver to get us out of this mess."

Where's Kate been these past few weeks, Dave?

She's on faternity leave with the bairn.

Eternity leave

When some resigns or retires from a job, they are on "eternity leave". This can also refer to someone who has passed away, especially someone who worked somewhere for a long time, retired/resigned, then passed away later.

Oh I'm sorry, you didn't know that Kelly is on eternity leave? She resigned and moved to Hawaii!

With regrets I would like to inform you that my boss is officially on eternity leave. I will never see or hear them again. Ever.

leaving someone the red gummy bears

The act of going out of your normal way to make someone else happy, even if it harms you in some way.
similar to: "biting the bullet"
For example:

- You buy a bag of gummy bears, and a friend tells you their favourite ones are the red gummy bears, so you eat anything but the red gummy bears so you could give them to your friend, even if you also like them.

- Almost all the lines at the grocery store are really long, except one, and you decide to wait in the long line since you're not in a hurry and you don't have a lot of groceries. Which makes you have to wait longer, but might make it easier for someone else.

- You're in the middle of an exam, and notice a student struggling. The teacher gets pulled out of the classroom and you don't know how long they will be gone for, but you still decide to whisper the answers to the struggling student.

"You gotta stop always leaving everyone the red gummy bears, you're harming yourself"
"You know, He should sometimes leave me the red gummy bears."
"Thanks for leaving me the red gummy bears!"
"It's nothing, just leaving someone the red gummy bears"
