Buttering both sides of the bread

To go much harder than is necessary. Worthless overachievment.

"Aww man, I studied for three hours and the test turned out to be easy! I really buttered both sides of the bread on this one."

"Dude last night I took ten viagra before fucking my girlfriend!"
"Woah man, why you always gotta be buttering both sides of the bread?"

Door swings both ways

Defines a bi-sexual person, usually but not exclusively defines a male. Primary sexual preference is irrelevant, the determining factor is that singular fact: if the person is willing to have sex with men and women, their door swings both ways.

Woah, I just found out Eddie's door swings both ways! This is great dirt! This explains all the time he spends over at Oscar's apartment!

grab your ass with both hands

To take control of your situation.

Imagine you are stuck and would push ahead with your hands. Now imagine you are grabbing your ass with both hands to push yourself along.

Or grabbing your ass with both hands to lift yourself out of a problem.

Similar to pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, except more evocative.

My crisis-prone neighbor was whining about her latest self-inflicted fiasco.

I told her "grab your ass with both hands" and went out for a beer with my friends.

the phone works both ways

An infamous line used by elders & parents frequently in order to push the responsibility to maintain a healthy relationship between the two.

grandma: well the phone works both ways though kiddo.

Burning the candle both ends

To give oral sex and receive anal sex at the same time - a spit roast. The candle in question is a penis, or man made substitute such as a strap-on dildo.

Jon loves burning the candle both ends, it keeps him up all night.

Smack both cheeks with one hand

Replaces the phrase "kill two birds with one stone" meaning you completed 2 tasks at the same time.

I think I'm going to smack both cheeks with one hand and use my city council paper for both my English and Politics class.

Burning the candle at both ends

Being stricken with a virus or whatever that gives you the shits and makes you puke as well.

I'm so sick! I blew mud and then 10 minutes later I puked my guts out! I'm burning the candle at both ends!
