back up plan

Haplessly taken for granted just because it’s not “exciting enough” or it’s “too good”. A plan that will only be referred to when all else fails. When you become a back up plan you should
figure out a way to hit them hard with the realization that you won’t always be there for them to walk all over you when they have no one else to go to; that you’ve got your own plans too. Otherwise, you my friend, will forever remain stuck in that phase.

Person #1 : Hey bro so what’s our plans tonight?
Person #2 : Who said “we” had plans? Check back with me in an hour or two.
Person #1 : What, so now I’m a back up plan?

dental plan, lisa needs braces

a timeless phrase, used with great versatility. you can say this at pretty much any time or situation but definately works best when said during one of those long awkward pauses in a conversation.

sometimes shortened to simply "dental plan..." let open to completion by others present, or simply left abbreviated.

taken from the famous "union" episode of the simpsons, this is what homer repeats to himself over and over again whilst trying to decide whether to pursue a dental plan program for workers of the nuclear plant or to give up this right for a free keg of beer. hrmmm....

... dental plan, lisa needs braces
some guy: "and that's when i realized that my glasses were on my *head* the whole time!"
dudes: " .... "
me: "... dental plan, lisa needs braces"

Bielke Plan

An outrageous plan that, thankfully, will never be put in to action. If such plan is accomplished (very unlikely) disaster ensues.
Usage 1:

Person 1: Did you hear what we're planning on doing for the Redbull Flugtag?
Person 2: Yeah... something about a refridgerator?
Person 1: Sounds sweet doesn't it!?! We're totally going to win.
Person 2: (sarcastically) yeah... sweet... greatest Bielke plan ever... call me when you actually get the refridgerator and I'll help.
(6 months later the day before the competition)
Person 1: WTF!?!?! Shawn still hasn't gotten the fridge
Person 2: Thank goodness because someone was going to die.

Usage 2:

I was playing goalie at Zimmermans, but thanks to the Bielke plan there was one slick spot on the ice right in front of the goal and I slipped and ruptured my other achilles.

Steve Jobs Business Plan

A product differentiation strategy that involves releasing multiple variations of the same product with just notable differences in each successive generation to the point where consumers feel they must upgrade. If the gap between the product the consumer owns and the product the company just released is 2 generation apart or larger, the consumer's product is outdated to the point that its value has plummeted to levels where resell value is less than half of the original cost and/or the company has cut off support for the product either formally or in a de facto manner (e.g. releasing updates to iOS that consume increasing amounts of RAM since it is designed to run on the newer harder with more RAM, but the older hardware becomes defunct because all of its RAM is being used to run the operating system and not any programs, such as music).
I got the iPhone when it came out, but I want to get the iPhone 3GS because it's half an ounce lighter. Unfortunately, the Steve Jobs Business Plan has rendered my iPhone worthless.
