SJ: At long last I have made an iPhone that does not drop calls unless you are left handed or sweaty.

BG: Thats pretty good but it's not exactly re-inventing the wheel is it?

Reinventing the Dildo

1: Calling a preexisting sexual position/sexual act by a nonconventional name.

2: An expression used when a person "invents", unknowingly, an already existing sexual novelty.
Ex. 1:

Bob: Dude, me and Linda totally did a double decker last night!

Frank: Bro, it's called 69. No need to reinvent the dildo.

Ex. 2:

Bob: I came up with this awesome idea last night. Just hear me out, but what if we video tape people doing it and put it on the internet??

Frank: Bob, it's called porn. Stop reinventing the dildo.

Reinvent the Wheel

Common code or jargon for copying someone else's work and claiming it as your own.

Frequently used in the military, even for the most mundane of tasks.

Especially applicable when the search to copy someone else's work requires more work than actually doing the work yourself.
1. If you've already done the work, there's no need to reinvent the wheel, just send me a copy of yours.
2. I'm sure I could do this, but why should I, there's no need to reinvent the wheel.
3. Whenever you copy and paste a request, remember to include that you don't want to reinvent the wheel.
