Potters Bar 

If something is 'off the rails' as if in, crazy, it is by definition 'Potters Bar' in reference to the 2002 Potters Bar rail crash.

Sub Focus on Saturday? I am going to drink a six-pack of Heineken and rave until my teeth fall out...tonight is going to be Potters Bar!

Potters Bar 

A wild place south of hertfordshire and right next to the north of the M25. Potters Bar has much to show, like the slums of Oakmere, where neglected children and nitties yell at you for no reason, the warzone of Darkes Lane, where schoolchildren act fucking handicapped and “J2Trappy” thinks he’s the most petrifying man in existence, and the rundown area of Furzfield, where you can’t breathe in a 200 metre radius from the youth centre before your lungs collapse due to year sevens vaping like there’s no tomorrow inside, and the skatepark has been overrun by crackheads smoking weed and overall just acting special needs, running the skater kids out of a place to stay. Long story short, don’t come here, no matter what.

Jacob: I live in potters bar
Anne: Oh god, i’m so sorry

pottery barn lesbian 

A lesbian (and sometimes a bisexual woman with mass market appeal.

It is often used in a negative way (generally by another gay person)to infer that the person is not "gay enough."

Used by Boy George to describe Rosie O'Donnell when he was obviously hungry for publicity.

negative: Ellen Degeneres is such a pottery barn lesbian. She needs to be gayer on her show.

positive: Rosie O'Donnell is a pottery barn lesbian. She's comfortable enough with her sexuality but it is not the only thing that defines her.

Sally: I know right, at least decorate with books you actually read

Pottery Barn groan

The pottery barn groan refers to the pissed off scoff/groan that someone lets loose after checking the price on something they wanted to buy from the catalog. Also applies in pottery barn stores, but more toned down due to salespeople that might be listening.

Jenna: OMG, that vintage apothecary table would look PERFECT in the living room!
Sarah: Wow, it is beautiful. Lemme check the price.
*Pottery Barn groan*
Sarah: Awww man.
Jenna: What?
Sarah: It's more than our rent, Jen.

Pottery Barn Rule

If you break it, you bought it.

Congress and POTUS: What Fiscal Cliff?
US Citizens: You guys don't understand the Pottery Barn Rule: Once you break the economy, you are going to own it. There are going to be 315 million citizens looking at you asking how you let the stock market crash and start a global recession. You will spend the rest of the decade undoing all you didn't do, if you aren't voted out of office first.

George: I want to invade Iraq
Colin: Once you break it, you are going to own it, and we’re going to be responsible for 26 million people standing there looking at us. And it’s going to suck up a good 40 to 50 percent of the Army for years. And it’s going to take all the oxygen out of the political environment. . ."
