Rip a stitch
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Rip a stitch'
Similar in meaning to the old theater adage 'break a leg' used to wish someone goodluck before they take the stage The phrase 'break a leg, rip a stitch' was originally coined by the actor /painter/writer Hank Cheyne Garcia. He had originally said "dont rip a stitch" to a friend who had had oral surgery a few hours before going to perform onstage in a play. That night his friend ripped a stitch on stage and bled during the play. The following night hank coined the opposite , 'rip a stitch,' so as not to jinx his friend with the same intent as the colloquialism 'break a leg,' basically saying the opposite with the intention of boding him good luck on stage. He later combined the two phrases together 'break a leg, rip a stitch' and thus a new theater term was born. This phrase is now being used in the Los Angeles theater community.

Get the lilo and stitchmug. To trick someone into inadvertently smoking a bong with mostly tobacco rather than marijuana, then laughing at them as they feel sick, spin out, or in the best case scenario, throw up.

Get the baccy stitchmug. A set up, a trick. If someone stitches you up, then they're playing you for a fool. It's often used when framing someone for a crime.
