That's how that goes

A phrase stated with attitude (emphasis on the second 'that') upon successfully winning a fight with an inanimate object that was giving you difficulty. For greater effect, the object is spoken to directly with a stern and intense look.
Edwin opened a jar that no one else could. He promptly held the now open jar at eye level looking at it intensely and said "That's how that goes."

The machine that goes ping

In Monty Python's the Meaning of Life, the machine that goes "ping" is a device that doctors use to determine that the baby they're delivering is alive.

It is also the most expensive machine in the whole hospital.
"Aah! I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favourite. You see, we lease this back from the company we sold it to, and that way, it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account."

the one that got away

The person that you could've and should've ended up with but didn't, usually because of a series of poor choices on your end. You pine over them and wonder what could've been all the while stalking them through mutual friends and on facebook, becoming extremely jealous over anyone that looks twice at them. You try to express your regret but they usually won't believe you unless you do some sort of grand gesture. The one that got away is someone that you will forever regret. In other words Trevor Sharod White.
I should've treated Roddy better, he is definitely the one that got away!
