Addition by subtraction 

When one person in the group leaves and the group as a whole becomes better
Kyle- "Finally Jimmy left"
Leo- "Jimmy was so ugly and drunk. Now all the ladies will come to us"
Steve- "Yeah, it's definitely addition by subtraction"

subtraction gardening 

Letting all of the weeds grow in your backyard and then pulling out the ones that don't make pretty flowers.
neighbor: Hey your yard looks great, but aren't those the same weeds that are in every abandoned back lot here in Detroit?
me: yep. It's called subtraction gardening.

Subtraction Rule 

If you'd calculate for example 3 x 3 it would be 8 instead of 9 because of the fact that you subtract one from the original answer.

The subtraction 

Also referred to as "Teh Subtraction"<br>The person of your desire's/The addition's current significant other. Called the subtraction because you think they have a negative impact on your life, not to mention they are totally wrong for your love interest.
