Playing the Violin with your Wrist and a Blade

Playing the violin with your wrist and a blade is a term used by people who cut themselves that don't want to to know what they're on about. Usually its just called "Playing the Violin" but when used around other cutters they use the full term.

Person 1: "I heard that she played the violin last night."
Person 2: "Yeah, using her wrist and a blade! I hope she's alright.
Person 1: "Playing the Violin with Your Wrist and a Blade can be dangerous, but it helps her get through the tough times."

Playing the Quarter Sized Violin

A euphemism for male masturbation. The humor in this euphemism comes from the fact that a quarter sized violin is roughly six inches (the length of a typical erect penis). Violin's are also "hard", "made of wood", and require careful "fingering". Vibrato (a common ornamental technique that requires a rapid back and forth movement of the hand along the neck of the instrument) could also be given new significance in the context of this metaphor.

Yeah, I accidentally walked in on Derek playing the quarter sized violin if you catch my drift.

Playing the world's saddest song on the world's smallest violin

A sarcastic saying used when a person tells another person of something mildly unfortunate that has happened to them, sometimes exaggerated in order to gain sympathy. It implies that the person speaking of their misfortune expects someone to come in playing the saddest song in the world on the worlds smallest violin to correspond with the apparent tradgedy of the situation. Sometimes the person saying this will mime playing a small violin, or try and imitate the sound of a violin.

Jade: Hello, how are you?
Laurel: I just stepped in dog poop and my new shoes got ruined and my feet smell like dog poop, and-
Jade: -Shh... hear that? i'm playing the world's saddest song on the world's smallest violin (mimes playing small violin)
