one lies and the other swears to it

This phrase is used to respond when one person says something you disbelieve, and then another person comes in to support them. The point is that a lie doesn't become more true simply because another person (of similar sketchiness) tries to back it up.
A: No way man, I wasn't even there that day, you can even ask Jimmy, he'll tell you I wasn't there.
B: Jimmy? Oh, awesome, now Jimmy's backing up your story. Well, just goes to show, "one lies and the other swears to it."

In one eye and out the other 

Failure to comprehend what you are reading because you are distracted or not focused.
I don't know why I am even trying to read this book - I can't focus with all this noise. Its just going in one eye and out the other!

In one eye and out the other 

Something visually boring - to the point of your eyes losing focus - that numbs your brain.
A sermon from dad elicits the "in one ear and out the other" response while a friend's boring home movie gets an "in one eye and out the other" reaction.

In one hole and out the other 

Giving a blow job through a glory hole whilst taking a shit
The stench was pretty brutal in stall 3 when the snake wizzard was in one hole and out the other. He sucked me dry and dumped his stinky load simultaneously. Febreeze anyone?!

In one eye and out the other

I know I just watched you put that windshield wiper on the car… but it just went in one eye and out the other

I got one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel.

Something that a NY Mobster might tell a reporter when he knows that his time is limited. He's done some really outrageous shit to other gangsters, and as a result, he is a dead man. Like a moth caught on a hot light, he knows it's wrong, but the danger gives him such a charge that he really has ceased to care. A guy in this position would say this and really mean it.
"I got one foot in the grave, and the other on a banana peel." "We live this way, but we don't care."

One foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel

2 phrases:

"One foot in the grave"- half dead, dying, death is catching up. Tired, old, metaphorical

"Foot on a banana peel"- funny, humorous, cartoon, things are going comically wrong, events are not working in one's favor. *Picture* stepping on a rake and being hit in the face with the handle. Knee slap comedy
One foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel expression-

damned if you do, damned if you don't...

Guy 1: "how are you doing?"
Guy 2: *expression meaning* on one side (one foot) I've really gone to hell, or im working on getting there- and on the other side (other foot) it's pretty stupid, but entertaining to watch, the bullshit that's been happening to me or that I've been outing putting myself through...

"Falling apart and it's hysterical to witness"
