When your friends try to get on your case about something and you want them to mind their own business
“Babe can we go to McDonDons for dinner?”
“Really Jonathan, I thought you said you were gonna start eating healthier.”
“Chase your own bag Karen... I’m still down if you are though.”

A phrase used by almost every NBA YoungBoy troll account.
By the way, slavery has been abolished in 1865 so they're bringing back slavery.

To be foiled by your own advantage(i.e., explosives prematurely explode).
The history of the phrase comes from the uses of a petard in a seige (a petard is a volitile early explosive capable of bringing down castle walls). To be hoisted is to be lifted or sent up, which is generally what would happen to you if you were near a petard when it goes off (and that's if you got off lucky).
The term, "Hoisted on my own petard" is incorrect (unless of course you were pulled up while on a petard, but that'd be clinicly stupid) in that the meaning is altered. This bastardization is built upon the assumtion that a petard is a spear.

A corruption of the saying, "To each, his zone."
Simply referring to the fact that people need their personal space.
Simply referring to the fact that people need their personal space.
For example, my friend and I are listening to some guy just blabber on and on about his own little world. We look at each other puzzled and I say, "Well, to each his zone." Simply due to sounding the same, this has been altered by some to "To each his own".
Similar to the idea of someone's "own little world". I could just as easily say, "Man, he just lives in his own little world." It would have the same meaning.
