Chickens come home to roost 

This expression is similar to "what goes around, comes around" and basically means that the consequences of one's evil actions catch up in a negative way. The idea that a wrongful curse comes back to the one who curses as a "bird returns to its nest" dates back to the days of antiquity. However, it wasn't until the 19th Century that Robert Southey wrote that "curses are like a young chicken: they always come home to roost." Since then, the idea of evil men creating returns to their own door has been encapsulated in this expression.
Dude, you keep dealing drugs and you're going to get caught. When the chickens come home to roost, they will take your car, your house, and all your money!

rooty tooty fresh 'n fruity

This is an interjectional phrase that is used when someone expels flatus by way of the rectum (id est: "farts"). It is meant to reference both the noise that frequently presents along with the expulsion (as some wind instruments are said to "toot" or "be tooted", such as the horn) and the distinct, frequently pungent odor of said flatus, which is sometimes intense enough to have a liminaly gustatable mawkishness (mawkishness in the sense of having a mildly sickening flavor; being slightly nauseating) ((a present intimation being that the "fresh 'n fruity" portion of the phrase is a jesting reference to the decidedly objectionable {at least socially} fetor {a strong offensive smell})). The interjection is spelled so as to be in accordance with the officially featured breakfast of the same title that originally appeared at IHOP (The International House of Pancakes); from whose menu the phrase entered the American English vernacular.
Scene: Two guys are riding in a truck in southeastern Arkansas carpooling back home from working at the mill on a warm day in August. Nothing is happening, neither saying anything no radio, just the frequent jolts & constant rumblings from the tires’ continuous collisions with the rough dirt road.

James, Brad: ...

-Suddenly in a loud exuberant manner ...

Brad: Woo Hoo!! Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity!

James: ...

-In conspicuous silence James continues to pilot the vehicle, once or twice glancing towards Brad who is still working on coming down from the momentary high of his emotional outburst. They continue their journey; the countenance of the former now notably featuring the taint of ashamedness.
