I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.

A combination of "I'll cross that bridge when I get to it." and the old addage, "don't burn your bridges". Meaning that you haven't yet arrived at a life obstacle, but you're sure you'll mess it up when you do.

"Hey man, did you figure out how to break the news to Kim that she's got herpes?"
"Nah, I'll burn that bridge when I get to it."

We'll burn that bridge when we get there.

A saying that is usually percieved as a malaphor, but can be used to describe the determined yet patient way of getting things done. The meaning could be explained as "we'll come to the bridge, cross it, burn it and move on."

"Have you started studying for finals? There are three of them for three days in a row."

"Nope only for the first one. The rest... Well, we'll burn that bridge when we get there."

(meaning one at a time)

we'll burn the bridge when we get there...

An alternative version of the slang "we'll cross the bridge when we get there", means pessimistically delaying a reaction to an impending situation.

Driving to the mall...

Burned that bridge when he crossed it

To completely destroy a relationship with a friend or significant other in a single action that benefits yourself.

After Joe squandered his parents fortune on a new camaro without sharing with his brother, he never spoke to Joe again and Joe therefore burned that bridge when he crossed it.

I'd like to bridge your buns right open

A crass pickup line, typically directed at girls with the name Bridget (for the "Bridge" effect), but can apply to any girl (or guy if that's your bag). Means "I'd like to spread your buttcheeks apart and stick my male sex organ in your anus."

Man: What's your name, cutie?
Woman: Bridget.
Man: Oh yeah? I'd like to bridge your buns right open.
*Man gets a drink in the face and a hard kick in the crotch*

Meaghan's a waffle crapper, I'd bridge her buns right open.

May The Bridges You Burn Light Your Way

This great to use as you are writing somebody off for doing you wrong.

Dude, you had sex with my girlfriend, you stole twenty bucks out of my wallet, and smoked my last cig?

May the bridges you burn light your way asshole.
