Throwing away the fish

Going bankrupt, being out of money. Being poor, not having any money.
Losing at a game.
Derived from Nintendo Monopoly. When you lose or "go bankrupt" you see an image of the Monopoly man in front of a trash can with a fish bone in his hand. Looks like he is throwing away the fish, when I think he is actually meant to be picking from the trash.

I'd love to go out tonight but I am throwing away the fish.
I really want to buy that bike, but I really threw away the fish this week.
I really threw out the fish on that one.

The Old California Flim Flam

Any sort of hooligans, shenanigans, tomfoolery or possible hijinks. Or anything that could possibly explained as "the old California Flim Flam".

"I think that cashier is trying to pull the old California flim flam, he short changed me!"
"yeah he got drunk last night and pulled the old California flim flam, no one knows what happened to him."
"I think they thought I was trying to pull the old California flim flam, but I was just trying to get something to eat!"
"Yeah he really pulled the old California flim flam on you."
"Sounds like the Old California flim flam to me."
"Yeah that couple is really pulling the Old California Flim Flam!"
