Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time. 

Share definition Flag
A "hip" expression of the 1960's-70's that advises you not to do something risky unless you are willing and able to accept the full weight of the consequences.

Ironically popularized by the theme song to the TV show "Baretta" starring Robert Blake.
Fred: "I'm losing my license for drunk driving..."

Charlie: "Quit complaining! You know what they tell you: 'don't do the crime if you can't do the time!'"

I can't do two things at once

A fact known to all men and universally discredited by women.
"The dog needs to go out, right away" she said, as he was balancing on the top of rung the ladder, not only changing the bulb but cradling the fragile glass globe. "And please take the towels out of the dryer, before they start to smell moldy."

"I can't do two things at once" he replied, but she could not hear him, polishing her nails, talking to her mother on the phone and finalizing the Etsy order for Kleenex box holders, reminding him... "I need you to tell me which of these patterns you prefer".

You Can't Do That On Television

Fantastic Canadian-made older kids' show aired during Nickelodeon's infancy. Involving snot jokes, barf jokes, fart jokes, and other similar hoohah, it was notable for naming one of its castmembers "Moose" despite the fact that she was a young human female.
Did you know Alanis Morrisette got her start on `You Can't Do That On Television` back in the day? Even still, I like it anyway.

A show that started out on local TV in Canada on CJOH.
Executives of a station called "The Pinwheel Channel" in the US happened upon it and decided it was just what their station need. Then The Pinwheel Channel became Nickelodeon.
Then they had a hit.
Not only boosted the lulling stations ratings but also gave them their trademark slime scheme. Nick doesn't acknowledge this, perhaps because publicizing it will do no good to them. The slime would fall on someone when they said "I don't know." Water would also fall on someone who said "water."
It ran in the US from 1981-1990. It was such a big hit in the US, it left Canadians scratching their heads. Most Canadian children found the show disgusting and it never had a wide audience in its homeland.
Supposedly was cancelled because the show went through kids like a revolving door on crack and it was a tedious task to send royalty checks to 200+ different children.
Alanis Morissette appeared on about six episodes of the show in 1986, as a minor character.
GUY #1: Moose on You Can't Do That On Television was my first crush.
GUY #2: How 'bout Lisa Ruddy?
GUY #3: I don't know... (Glop...)
GUY #1: I'm so thirsty.
GUY #3: Would you like a glass of water? (Splash)

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
