Lay on the floor with dogs

A reference made to positioning yourself around an unsavory character or seedy person will certainly lead you down a harmful and descructive path.

If my Daddy knew how much I hung out with ole' Ralph, he'd have certainly said, "Son, if you continue to lay on the floor with dogs, you're gonna get fleas and ticks!"

Lay on the floor with dogs

Reference made to positioning one's self around an unsavory or seedy character that may eventually lead to harm.

If my Daddy knew that I hung out with Ralph he would have surely told me, "Son, if you continue to lay on the floor with dogs, you're gonna get fleas. It's just a matter of time!"

Ralphalization

The art of convincing yourself that what you're saying is true in order to justify lies to cover lies to cover lies to cover lies, etc. If you believe it to be true in your mind, you've already won half the battle.

When I didn't show up or call I knew that had to come up with a pretty good Ralphalization in order to avoid catching shit from everyone. I said that my dog ate my homework, an old friend came in from out of town, my clothes were in the washing machine, I was shaving, my cellphone isn't working...and all of those things really are possible. Therefore, I really didn't lie!
