deja view

Turning on a TV show that you don't usually watch and yet somehow, inexplicably, always managing to see the same rerun episode.
Roommate 1: Unbelieveable! Whenever I settle on watching "Medium" I somehow always pick up the episode when Allison is battling the ghost serial killer played by the dad from "That 70's Show".

Roommate 2: Oh, I love that one!

Roommate1: Yeah, but this the 3rd time I've seen it and its the only episode I've ever seen! Didn't they make like five seasons of this show? Talk about your deja view!

Man! Rush hour would've made me late for my job interiew, but fortunately there was a terrible accident. However, thanks to my ambulance drafting skills I was actually early. Too bad family of 5 had to die so I could land a job.

Muslim Rage

From an ill advised Newsweek cover from the on the Sept. 24th, 2012 issue for featuring of picture (two angry muslim men), the subject (free-speech), and the title (Muslim Rage).

Woman in Burqa: "I'm having such a good hair day. No one even knows. #Muslim Rage".

"Lost your kid named Jihad at the airport. Can't yell for him. #MuslimRage".

"Head & Shoulders still hasn't made a beard conditioner. #MuslimRage".

"Memo to those few violent MidEast protesters, this is how you fight Islamophobia. You make fun of it.

#MuslimRage".

throw my hat

To throw one's hat in (as "in the ring") is to:
1) to challenge or contend for something.

2) nominate someone or oneself for something. To volunteer.

A boxing metaphor that originated in the early 19th century when one who wished to challenge a boxer would throw his hat into the ring as a way of having your challenge noticed in a crowded ring.
In 1912 Theodore Roosevelt, who was an advid boxer, was the first presidential candidate to use "throw my hat in the ring" to announce his run at the U.S. presidency.

bubble burst

1) When something has been going exceeding well only to then run its inevitable course and either decline or fail altogether; a market correction.

2) a term adopted in business to describe an event that is currently faultering or failing or has the potential to do so.
1) I thought my job as a lawyer was recession-proof, but when Jesus returned, sent all the sinners to hell and left everyone remaining on Earth singing Kum By Ya, that bubble burst!

2) In 2007: My house was just appraised at 130% of what I bought it for and I don't think the market can support more than that for much longer. I'm going to sell it now before the bubble bursts next year.
