Husband: "I'm gonna go have some drinks with the guys... but it's for the children!"

Example #2
Government of the US: "We will be censoring the internet and suppressing your freedom of speech... but it's for the children!"
The phrase came after a theory around X’s death, often accompanied with the phrase “it’s for his album No Pulse”, despite the fact his real third album had been announced as “Skins”

A dragon created by Strong bad similar to Trogdor, except he doesn't have wings but instead has 2 beefy arms and 2 beefy legs. Strong bad has claimed to like him more now because "You internet types have ruined Trogdor".
To begin, draw an S for snake. or dragon er, whatever. Next, we'll draw a more different S. For the head, put a top mark on a long V. Then you add some beefy legs and draw on a couple of beefy arms, eyes, spikes, teeth and angry eyebrows. Now you have the s is for sucks dragon.
When the amount of money saved equals or exceeds the cost of an item or service, usually through an extended period of time.
This is very often used as a means of promoting a good or service, such as gutters, food processors, juicers etc. As in:
"Now with Debby Meyer's green bags, you never have to throw away your produce due to spoilage! Produce lasts up to 7 times longer, saving you money and time. This product nearly pays for itself!"
Because Jack bought a home coffee grinder, he can grind his own beans at home! He no longer has to buy more expensive pre-ground coffee, so in essence his new machine pay(s) for itself.
