life is what you make it

A cliche of debatable validity.

On one side, this phrase may be seen to be reassuring, allowing a person to accept the ills of their life, whatever those might be, with grace, knowing that with effort, or wisdom, those ills can be surmounted, or even changed into something positive.

On the other side, this meaning can be seen to be irrelevant; the phrase ultimately becomes empty, asking a person to acquiesce to, in the form of the acceptance of "the good with the bad", the ill of the modern world in any or all of its forms.

Run what you brung

A term used for street races, where you accept the results of a race instead of making theories how the race could have turned out differently.

Guy 1: "That Supra would have beaten that ZR1 if it had a bigger turbo."
Guy 2: "Who cares about your fantasy racing? That Supra didn't have a bigger turbo. It's run what you brung!"

can be applied the other way too:

Guy 1: "That Dodge Charger SRT8 would have won against that WRX if he had used racing slicks."
Guy 2: "Who cares, he didn't race with racing slicks so he lost. It's run what you brung!"

you are what you eat

A phrase that is obviously not true because I eat pussy all the time and still do not display any vaginal qualities.

You are what you eat

A great comeback when someone insults you. On a scientific level this works because the things we eat actually make up our bodies. But if you were called... for example... a pussy... you get the idea.

"You never do anything daring. You're such a pussy"

"Hey, you are what you eat."
