it happened to a friend of mine

The phrase that people use when saying a ridiculously embarrassing story about something that happened to to them. To save themselves from total humiliation they say "it happened to a friend of mine".

George: God, I am so embarrassed, I can't believe Stacy found out I was cheating with her.

Bill: Don't worry, at least you didn't cheat on her with what you thought was her sister but turned out to be her fat brother.

George: huh?

Bill: It happened to a friend of mine...

To pull one's punches in the verbal sense in order to not offend.

Yeah I said it. I'm not going to mince words with you. If you don't like it then take a hike.

Sweet Child O' Mine

One of Guns n' Roses many great songs. It is a love song written for Axl Rose's then-wife Erin Everly.

It started during a jam session when as a joke Slash started playing, in his words, "a stupid little riff" which he'd used as an excercise, and making wierd faces at drummer Steve Adler. Izzy Stradlin then came in with some chords and Duff McKagan improvised a bass line. Axl was amazed and started singing from a love letter to Erin. In 1988, with the release of Appetite for Destruction, Sweet Child reached #1 on the billboard top 40, even passing Welcome to the Jungle. Slash originally didn't like the song, but after playing it live he began to enjoy it more. His riff is always listed as one of the greatest ever by music critics.
Unfortunately, Axl and Everly's relationship did worse than the song, ending in divorce and spousal abuse lawsuits. But the song is amazing anyway.

She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I'd stare too long
I'd probably break down and cry

Woah, oh, oh, Sweet child o' mine
Whoah, oh, oh, oh, Sweet love of mine

She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

Woah, oh, oh, Sweet child o' mine
Woah, oh, oh, oh, Sweet love of mine

Woah, oh, oh, yeah
Whoah, oh, oh oh, Sweet child o' mine
Whoah oh, oh, oh, sweet love of mine
Whoah, oh, oh oh, Sweet child o' mine, ooh yeah,
Oh, sweet love of mine

Where do we go,
Where do we go now,
Where do we go,
Where do we go,
Oh, where do we go now
Where do we go,
Oh, where do we go now
Where do we go now,
where do we go,
Oh, where do we go now
where do we go,
where do we go now,
where do we go,
whoah, where do we go now,

Sweet child,
Sweet child o' mine

Eeny meeny miny moe

A colloquial expression used to be able to make a selection/decision at random. This is done by pointing with your finger randomly at the possible choices and chanting each word. Whichever option is pointed at when saying "moe" is the one that should be chosen - mostly, as some people cheat and do it again. This can be done with your eyes either open or shut.

There are 80 or so flavours of ice-cream/sorbet you can choose from. They all sound delicious and you cannot make up your mind... so you close your eyes and chant while pointing randomly at the board "Eeny meeny miny moe!" You open your eyes and your finger is pointing at: Straberry Cheescake! You have a quick glance and realise you really wanted Mississippi Mud Pie... but tough, it's fate! Strawberry Cheescake it is. ;)
