hang it on the wall

Said when about to shake hands, but instead the hand is pulled up & away with the thumb pointed backwards while saying the phrase. Meant to be a joke, but creates mass confusion and an awkward situation instead.

Andy: “I sure am glad to meet you” (reaches out for handshake)
Roger: (quickly pulls hand away) “Hang it on the wall”

frame it and hang it on the wall 

A sarcastic term for someone's making too big a deal out of something, either by verbosely crowing about it or by asking others to show excessive attention/respect to said trivial matter/object.

So you got an acceptance-letter from the local community-college --- like, wow! --- those enrollment-desperate academic honchos will take just about anyone, so it's really no significant praise or great honor directed your way. Whatcha gonna do with the letter --- frame it and hang it on the wall?!??
