It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

This comes from a brazilian saying. It basically means that if you're making jokes and someone gets offended ( on a personal level ), that is no reason to stop making those jokes. This, of course, isn't an excuse to just be an asshole, and must be used with nuance. The saying could also be directly translated to

"It's better to lose a friend than to lose a joke"

Guy 1 (whose wife died to stillbirth): Wow, these celebrities are crazy
Guy 2: What happened?
Guy 1: I checked the news, and it looks like the rapper DaBaby killed his wife
Guy 2: Well, "The Baby" also killed YOUR wife
Guy 1: Low blow dude
Guy 2: It's better to miss a friend than to miss a joke

better than the average bare

What a supposedly-above-average stripper or nudist-camp member claims to be.

Folks who are covered in tattoos may view themselves as being "better than the average bare", but if a fellow human is gonna "drop it all for me", I would much prefer just a "pian 'n' natural look" in the skin-department.

better than the average Bayer

What a supposedly-superior brand of aspirin claims to be.

If you add an "abbreviating apostrophe" right before da capital "b" in da "better than the average Bayer" phrase --- i.e., if you spell it "'Bayer", thus eliminating da small "e' at da beginning of da word --- then it could also refer to an online buyer/seller who exhibits exemplary behavior/performance.

I can be and am better than you

I'm not competing with my self and you are trying to erase and control me because you could not win.

Hym "I can be and am better than you. And your reaction to losing is going to exist on the internet forever in the form of the xQc meme where it's him laughing juxtaposed to him stonefaced. You only hurt yourselves by doing this to me and receding into your own solipsistic existence. When the door to your cell closes it closes forever the second I die."

I’m doing better than you

After five long years, you finally catch up with your cousin. He’s casually chilling on the couch, reading a magazine. When you ask how he’s been, he gives you a smug look and says, “I’m doing better than you.” He repeats this, then sarcastically says, “No, no, no, I’m joking.” But he keeps repeating it. You start to feel bad about yourself.

Example : You: “Hey man, it’s been a while. Long time no see! What have you been up to in life?”

Cousin: “…………I’m doing better than you………..No I’m not………..Yes I am”

Eggs are better served cold

Hot issues are better resolved when there is less tension. This proverb, coined by Snow (John Snow), means that emotional conflicts or sensitive situations are best handled after tempers have cooled — not in the heat of the moment. Like eggs that can still be enjoyed after chilling, some matters are better when allowed time to settle.

“I wanted to confront my business partner yesterday, but I waited. You know what they say — eggs are better served cold.”
