Pick Up Truck

A motorized vehicle with over size tires, enough horsepower to rescue a three ton elephant from quicksand and a glove compartment filled with country and western CD's.

He bought a pick up truck to drive to work but then lost his job as an accountant and didn't need it anymore.

52 Pick-Up

What people say when they throw a deck of cards on the floor/across the room with no intention of picking them up, leaving the job to you. This usually happens after someone loses a card game multiple times and can't take it anymore. Or when you're just in the mood to make some people POed.

Shane: "Black Jack!"
Me: "What!? Again!? That's fourteen times in a row!"
Mikey: "Stop being a sore loser."
Shane: "Yeah, really. It's not like I cheat."
Me: "Yeah well," *gathers the deck of cards, "52 Pick-Up!" *Throws the deck of cards across the room and onto the floor, walks out of the room*

Picking Up Scraps

The art of taking credit for an accomplishment that you had absolutely nothing to do with.

Alternatively, acheiving a goal only after someone has done most or all of the work for you.

Bob: Damn, that project was rough. But I think I really pulled it off.

Jeff: Yeah..you pulled it off alright. (smiles wickedly)

Boss: Why Jeff, what an excellent job you did on that project, we should talk about your promotion.

Bob: (face turning 10 shades of red, he begins to hop up and down) But..but..no...he's PICKING UP SCRAPS!

Boss: Bob, perhaps you would benefit from some..counseling..
