cotton candy income

An income that appears adequate, but melts away to nothing almost at once.
#1: What do you mean you can't afford to go out? It's payday, and you had a raise last month!

#2: (Sighs) "Nah, I have a cotton candy income. Just as soon as the rent, rates and taxes, insurance and credit card installment go off I'll be back in the red..."

Seal Cotton

Something bizarre or shocking that would provoke a WTF response. The origin of this phrase is the French phrase "ouate de phoque," which translates as "seal cotton," but sounds remarkably like "what the fuck."
-Wasn't the Kikkoman Soy Sauce video the weirdest thing you've ever seen?
-Yeah, it was all kinds of seal cotton.

cutting

Cutting has been described to me by my therapist as a natural drug in that it released endorphins to the brain immediately following the cutting. However, in the long run, cutting can lead to more severe depression and also can cause permanent physical damage. Cutting sometimes is accompanied by head banging, burning, or other self-destructive behaviors.
Despite some of the close minded definitions, cutting is not done only by emo kids. Although some emo kids do cut, most of the characteristics of cutters are the same as those with eating disorders. Cutters tend to be perfectionists, and often are white, middle class teenage girls, although not all cutters come from this background.
Cutting often is a result of depression, and some view it as a way to release emotional pain when it feels like you would explode otherwise. Although many people think that those with depression have experienced huge tramas in their lives, this is not necessarily the case. Depression is a disease, just like diabetes is a disease. It can strike anyone, regardless of their gender, class, or social status. I personally am attending an ivyleague college next year, was captain of my soccer team in high school, could be considered among the popular kids at my school, and have an extremely loving family. I still have the scars from my cutting, which I stopped doing 2 months ago. Although i was lucky enough to be able to stop, other people such as my older sister, became addicted. Cutting is not something to mess around with. However ,it is naive to dismiss cutting as simply a way to get attention. It is also naive to scorn those who seem to have perfect lives as being stupid for cutting. People do not choose to be depressed.
"how can you be so depressed? You're so beautiful and so good at everything." - me crying to my to my sister in an ambulance after one of her major cutting episodes

"that doesnt matter tho. being pretty doesn't change wut mood i'm in," - my sister

cutting your losses

to extricate yourself from an impossible situation, where there is very little or no hope for improvement.

similiar to cashing in your chips, however, when one cuts their losses, it usually means that they are walking away with nothing to show for their efforts, and are getting out before they have to endure even more loss.
cutting your losses:

The U.S. Government eventually decided to cut its losses with regard to the Vietnam War, and by the early 1970s withdrew all of its military forces from Southeast Asia.
