Pin a rose on your nose

It certainly predates that sitcom “Full House” (where it was mostly used incorrectly) by several decades. “Pin a rose” refers to rewarding someone for a good deed. To say “pin a rose on your nose” was a sarcastic way of saying you think you deserve an award, but you really don’t. You might say it to a braggart. “Yeah, we’ll pin a rose (award) on you… On your nose!”

Saying sarcastically, “good for you,” or, “well aren’t you special” have similar meanings. It’s like saying, you think you’re so good, but you’re not all that.

Person 1: I haven’t missed a day of school since 2nd grade. Person 2: Well, pin a rose on your nose.

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.
