Sainsbury

Describes the action of telling a hopelessly stupid lie and believing that it will actually work.

Usually associated with intellectually challenged lower to middle class Australian girls hoping make enough fast cash for a Contiki tour.
Cassie: Don't worry, I'll just tell those stupid Colombian police I thought they were headphones, that'll cover me. I mean, I'm a blonde haired white girl, they couldn't prosecute me for drug smuggling, the Australian government will protect me.
Narrator: They didn't believe her and her story. The Australian government couldn't give the square root of half a fuck and she went to jail for 30 years. Turns out she just did the biggest Sainsbury since Schapelle Corby with her 15kg boogie board.

Sainsbury's manoeuvre

When someone says they know a shortcut but it actually ends up being a longer route. Unnecessary and silly.
Anand: "Wait, I know a shortcut...take this left here...quick turn right again! Oh you were too slow, now we have to wait"

Cab driver: "What? You wanted me to take a left to miss to miss that traffic light and go through another traffic light?? What a silly man, what a stupid Sainsbury's manoeuvre!"

sainsbury's

sainsbury's (also known as J Sainsbury)is a supermarket in the UK and it's pretty soi disant - that means it's stuck up. fat-tongued essex boy Jamie Oliver currently fronts up the ads for this dismal store. I bet he hates himself for that, although he can have all the pukka food he likes because he gets a shit load of wonga for saying things like 'try something different'. try waitrose instead.
I noticed a grammatical error at sainsbury's today - it should be '10 items or fewer', not 'less'.
