same old, same old

redundant and repetitive way of saying "the same old thing" or "nothing new"

gotta take a break from the same old, same old".

-from the song "(don't need) nothing but a good time" (Poison)

let it slide

1. to put off or delay

2. to leave things as they are; to not
change or disturb a situation.

bill cause I let it slide for too
long.

2. I wouldn't fight over something
that stupid, best just to let it
slide.
