Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash

"Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash," is something TV Dr. Phil McGraw's father said to him as a boy when he would voice wild plans or notions. It means that talk is cheap relative to performance, or that promising something and delivering on it are two different things. A phrase similar in meaning is "Money talks, bullshit walks."

.

"I'm going to get a job selling fuzzy dice door-to-door. I'll be rich!"

"Boy, your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash."

Like waiting for a giraffe to give birth

Waiting for something for a long period of time that never happens or seemingly will never happen

Waiting for my husband to mow the lawn is like waiting for a giraffe to give birth

waiting pizza

(n.)- The pizza slice(s)purchased while waiting for your food to be made. Generally, this phenomenon occurs when you place in order in a pizza store, and then are left to sit there and wait for an eternity for your food to be cooked, packaged, and paid for...it's consider a pulic service to your hungry stomach in most major cities...

Dez: Ryan, I'm really hungry. Do you have any money I can borrow??
Ryan: I'm sorry, I really don't have enough...(to cook)Hey! Can I have three extra slices while I wait??
Dez:WTF??
Ryan:Dez...waiting pizza

writing the essay

A rediculously shitty class that all college freshmen in New York City and perhaps all of the United States are required to take. It is the incarnation of all that is wrong with the world. Students are forced to relentlessly pull bullshit out of their asses and smear it on pieces of paper that are turned in for grades that will inevitably tarnish their GPA's forever.

Through association, it has become one of the most loathed and negative phrases ever to emerge from the english language. Can be used as a harsh insult that leaves the insulted party broken, teary-eyed, and in need of psychological therapy to recover.

"You know what? Your momma's such a fuckin idiot that she LIKED 'Writing the Essay' class. ZINGGGG!"

-The Yo' Momma joke to end all insults. It is the last resort and is only used as an extreme measure.
