back to black

going back to what you know.
trying something out, but realizing it wasn't for you, and going back to what you know. black has more of a lower connotation to it - versus going back to "white."

got into a relationship and changed aspects of the way you live and your life. got out of the relationship (exonerated yourself, more like it) and going back to your life (just the way YOU like it) = back to black.

going back to your ex, because that's what you know = back to black.

giving up staying straight, and giving in to your addiction = back to black.

Back-To-Reality complex

The back-to-reality complex (noun):

Also referred to as the BTR-Complex: the feeling of emptiness after the end of a tv-series or movie, when

1) having to face the fact that all good things come to an end
2) having to let go of the bond that was built with the characters.

Leads in many cases to: addition to fan-fiction, discussion of every episode, and a re-watch of the tv-series/movie.

Durations range from an hour to multiple years.

Frank: "Hey buddy! What's up with Jimmy? He hasn't spoken a word today!"
Dennis: "I know. He just finished the last episode of Freaks and Geeks, and now he's having a Back-To-Reality complex..."
Frank: "Damn... How long do you think this will last?"
Dennis: "He'll get over it pretty soon for now, but after he does a re-watch of the series, it may last a little longer."

Back to School

Almost like a holiday season, it takes place between the last 3 weeks before school starts and the first 3 weeks after school starts. Major corporations like Walmart and JCPenny feed off your moms money and encourage more of it with their abysmal advertising of back to school sales. Your parents seem to tease and taunt you that school is on its way to the point that you'll want to vomit uncontrollably.

Do you need an example? Alright, just see either school middle school or high school. See also: wal-mart and dollar general.

Go back to the valley

A jocular, non-serious way of telling someone that they are sucking at something (usually surfing or skateboarding or some such activity). The expression originated among Los Angeles area surfers who would try to intimidate surfers from farther inland (usually the San Fernando Valley) into not surfing at “their” break. Locals could tell a “Val” because people from the valley usually weren’t very good (not having access to the beach as easy as coast residents). Hence the expression becoming synonymous with “you suck.” Was popularized as a catch phrase by several bad Hollywood surf movies (eg Point Break).

Dude 1 tries to kickflip off a curb and falls on his face.
Dude2: Hahaha, go back to the valley.
