Live high not low

Instead of using "I'm human" as an excuse to walk in the flesh, try using "I'm saved" as a reason to walk in the Spirit.  Unknown

I've done it, you've done it.  Uttered the words, "It's just who I am" as an excuse for bad behavior.  Um, NO.  Poor excuse.  It's the worst excuse.  It is not okay to behave badly, hurt people, act like an ass, and try to just shrug it off with the flippant "Deal with it because that's just me."  UGH.  Own your behavior.  Take responsibility for bad attitudes, hurting people with words and/or actions, and acting like an ass.  Don't try to con yourself and others by saying it's part of who are.  It's not.  If you are a believer of God and a follower of him then it's not who you are.  And you don't get to use the "I'm human" as an excuse for your bad behavior.  C'mon.  Instead of walking in the flesh and every so often trying to put God in there somewhere why don't we *GASP* try walking in the Spirit and remembering who we are?  How often do you actually consider that you are a child of the King and that means there is a standard of behavior that has been set for you?  Quit living low (i.e using the excuse "I'm human" for bad behavior) and start living within the standard set for you!  It's so annoying when someone is railroading people with their bad attitude and behavior and then wants everyone they have railroaded to just be okay with that kind of behavior when they shrug and say, "Oh well that's just who I am, it's part of me so deal."  NO.  Don't let anyone in your life get away with that and don't you try to get away with that!  And if you try to convince me that your bad behavior is "just who you are" don't expect me to just nod my head and accept that lame excuse.  We are called to live high not low, let's hold each other to it.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
