blowing smoke up my ass

Complimenting a person merely to gain something in return.

Joe: That automobile salesman sure thought you were a good driver. Did you hear all the compliments he gave you?

Bob: Yeah. He was just blowing smoke up my ass to get me to buy the car.

pissing contest

A pissing contest is any argument that just goes back and forth between two individuals but never gets resolved.

Joe: "I can piss farther than you can."
Bob: "No you can't!"
Joe: "Yes I can!"
Bob: "No you can't!"
Joe: "Yes I can!"
Bob: "No you can't!"
Joe: "Yes I can!"
Bob: "Prove it!"
Joe: "OK, you go first!"
Bob: "No, you go first!"
Joe: "No, you go first!"
Bob: "No, you go first!"
Joe: "No, you go first!"
... and so on.

Pete: "Man! That's one helluva pissing contest you two guys are having."
