bought-out

When record companies and labels have bargained with digital retailers to purchase a particular amount of digital downloads. This is practiced to push the position of a song to the top of the charts when a song is lacking in airplay

Gwen Stefani's label, Interscope, bought-out downloads for "Hollaback Girl" when it was at #12 airplay in order to bump "Candy Shop" before Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" took the #1 position.

Kanye West bought-out digital downloads for "Golddigger" when it was at #16 airplay so he could have a #1 single and #1 album at the same time.

Store Bought

Used in contrast to 'So Hot' to refer to someone who's 'sexy' look is completely dependent on their cash flow and mindless fad following as opposed to being authentically and naturally gorgeous. Often 'Store Bought' individuals are attempting to mimic whichever celebrity is popular at the moment. Some of these celebrities are also 'Store Bought'

"Oh look!, another Store Bought Brittany Look-alike.

Bought The Farm

Passed away. Expired. Vacated this worldly plain. Snuffed it.
Also Throw a seven

Mrs Tiggywinkle? It's PC Bobs, here. I'm afraid I have some upsetting news. Your husband was crossing the M4 and, well I'm afraid he bought the farm. Squashed flatter than a witch's tit. He was.
We scraped Him up as best we could. He's in this bucket. I shouldn't look if I were you.

bought the shirt

when you have been in the same situation as someone before, derived from "going somewhere and buying the shirt from that place as a souviner"

"My final is worth 50% of my grade. I could fail the class tomorrow!"
"I've been there, done that, bought the shirt."

bought and paid for

IN BRIEF: When you no longer do anything else for anybody or anything.

1ST EXAMPLE:
VIRGIL: Arent you gonna warn me of my constitutional rights?
MERCER: No need to. You were already bought and paid for.
----------THIS WAS BASED ON VIRGIL GETTING RATTED OUT BY FREDDIE FROM THE MOVIE "BOILING POINT."

2ND EXAMPLE:
DAUGHTER: Daddy give me some money.
FATHER: Girl here. You get mad if I said you were bought and paid for.
