Motel matches used to be matchbooks with the motel's name on the cover. If you met a girl or a guy in a bar or wherever and saw them use motel matches to light their cigarettes or someone else's, then it would be possible to assume that this person was a frequent "visitor" to that particular motel...or some kind of sex worker.
Elvis Costello had a song on his "Get Happy!!" album in the 1980's with that same title "Motel Matches".
There's a chorus in the song that goes:
"Boys everywhere, fumbling with the catches
I struck lucky with motel matches
Falling for you without a second look
Falling out of your open pocketbook
Giving you away like motel matches"
Implying that he's falling in love with a Hooker

Yeah I thought she was the one. But nope... She was all just motel matches.

Used to ask if someone wants to put the same amount of drugs, usually marajuana in a circle so everyone is contributing equally to the group pot.

To deliberately lose a game or fight. It may be when one could've won, but wanted their opponent to score. Or it may occur when one suspects that their loss is inevitable.
The track star helped the injured, opponent runner cross the finish line. He has great character to throw the match of a national championship race.

an extremely long sit-down sojourn in the lavatory, which to the subject feels like it is taking five days to achieve any sort of conclusive result. So named due to the similarity to the cricket competitions: long, silent periods of intense concentration broken by occasional grunts, cracks and thuds, irregularly interspersed with splatters that sound not unlike bursts of applause.
Sally: “Fred, Jim disappeared after breakfast and it's already 11. We are supposed to be at the coast by 12!”
Jim: “We might not make it. He's in the lavatory and it sounds like he is in the middle of a test match.”
