Paid the iron price

The nudity and sex scenes up and coming actors & actresses are required to do in Game of Thrones before becoming more established.

Khaleesi paid the iron price so often in Season 1, she hardly needs to get naked again for the rest of the show.

Poorly paid conscripts

People practically forced into a war with little money or hope of returning. The expendable n00bs of the armies.

The poorly paid conscripts were forced to rush the enemy, while the guns lined up to take shot.

paid-up layaway

Refers to da practice of giving da store's clerk your already-rung-up bags of merchandise to hold for you behind da counter, so dat ya can come pick them up later.

Paid-up layaway is a good idea for when you've either (1) car-pooled into da mall with a friend to shop, and thus you do not have immediate/easy access to a vehicle to transport your purchases at da time you bought them, or (2) you've parked a good distance from da shop dat you're currently in, and you've unexpectedly found large quantities of bargain-priced items and/or one or more heavy/bulky pieces of merchandise dat would be too hard to carry or wheel in a cart all da way back to your vehicle. What you do, therefore, is to tie up da shopping-bags' handles to secure da contents, attach paper labels with your name, and leave them with da clerk; dat way, even if a different salesperson is staffing da checkout-counter when you get back to da shop with your vehicle, said new staffperson can just look at da labels on da bags sitting behind da counter, and thus know for sure dat those bags are indeed yours and already paid for, and thus he/she can feel confident and comfy about handing them over to you.

paid-per-view

The past-tense verb form of purchasing a "pay-per-view" movie.

From the Normandy French root "purview."

Yo, when we got back to the hotel room, we were so wasted that we paid-per-view "Xanadu" and "Grease 2."

Board man gets paid

The most viscous taunt you can give an opponent while rebounding a basketball. It refers to the board man (rebounder) being rewarded (gets paid) for his ball fetching efforts. The phrase will surely strike fear in the opposing team. Can also be applied to other events in life when somebody is owning another person or people.

The Claw grabbed a rebound and quietly uttered "board man gets paid." The other team subsequently forfeited the game.

get money, get paid

1. The act of recieving payment.

2. A mantra for the true original ganstah - solid advice from Mr. Chi City.

1. Howard received a check in the mail today. He got money, and got paid.

2. Ermingarde got a promotion today. As they say - get money, get paid.

Paid a thousand life points

Describing of a person conducting an act of extreme stupidity which turns a favorable event extremely unfavorable.

Oh my God, you retard! What you did is just like the time when Jeff paid a thousand life points, destroyed everything on the field, drew a Heavy Storm, and lost the game for us.
