Doesn't Cut the Mustard 

This phrase originates from the Old English craft of Mustard making.

The chief mustard maker or Mustardeer would make their mustard in large oaken barrels, allowing each barrel to mature for a number of months. This maturing of the mustard produced a thick, leathery crust at the top of the barrel which would need to be removed before the contents could be tested.

The consistency of the crust would be such that a specialised cutting implement was required to remove it. Initially a modified scythe was used but this often lead to the crust being 'dragged' at certain points and falling into the rest of the mustard causing it to lose some of its distinctive flavour.

Over many years a specialised blade was developed that had an extremely thin leading edge which widened towards the centre and then tapered at the trailing edge although not to a sharp point. This allowed the blade to skim the majority of the topcrust off, leaving a very thin slice which would be left on to protect the mustard.

Due to the coarse, leathery nature of the topcrust the blade, over time, would develop dull spots along it's length and thus required constant monitoring.

When it was time to remove the topcrust the senior Mustardeer would instruct his apprentice to pass him the blade and would attempt to slice thorough the top leathery layer. The Mustardeer would know immediately if the blade was not sufficiently keen enough to complete the task and he would pass the blade back to the apprentice and say to him "I'm sorry, but That Doesn't Cut the Mustard"

The phrase has since passed into common usage describing anything that does not meet a certain standard.
Don't give me your crap excuses, That Doesn't Cut the Mustard.

The computer you sold me is not upto the task for which I purchased it. Im sorry but it doesn't cut the mustard.

Don't cut my feet 

To cut a "middle man" out of a business deal for any reason without "middle man" permission. No matter how unreasonable, ridiculous or just down right stupid. Even if said "middle man" was the one who set you up with the new business contact in the first place. Even if going to the new business contact is more beneficial to you, out of some kind of far fetched, crazy person ideals you must throw all common sense and logic out the window and screw yourself to keep some idiotic, obviously desperate "middle man" happy.
"Hey, John If you want to purchase that car you need to come to me. "Don't cut my feet" and go to my boss we were friends 10 years ago and I need that commission even if it means you must knowingly screw yourself over."
"I know I set you up with my boss for that last sale so you could get a good deal because we are friends, but I'm a selfish douche and want to rip you off so "don't cut my feet" anymore by going to him instead of me or I will do everything I can to ruin your reputation until you have no choice but to come back to me."
"I don't care if you do business with my competitors because you know I'm completely untrustworthy, you are the only person I don't screw over in my business deals. Trust me. We were kind of acquaintances years ago I can't believe I even need to say this, but "don't cut my feet" like this."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
