Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash

"Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash," is something TV Dr. Phil McGraw's father said to him as a boy when he would voice wild plans or notions. It means that talk is cheap relative to performance, or that promising something and delivering on it are two different things. A phrase similar in meaning is "Money talks, bullshit walks."

.
"I'm going to get a job selling fuzzy dice door-to-door. I'll be rich!"

"Boy, your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash."

That Ass Can Fart

This is a phrase one would use to proclaim that someone's posterior can produce one of 3 things, A. a loud and boisterous fart, B. a long winded and detailed fart, or C. a fart that produces a particularly foul odor when leaving someone's shitter. Almost always used after someone farts, and it is not courteous to proclaim that someone's ass, can indeed, fart, outside of a scenario in which said person previously farted in the last 15 seconds. You may also add 'though' to the end of the phrase if it suits your fancy.
*Someone in close vicinity starts ripping some serious ass.* "That ass can fart!" or "That ass can fart though!"
