sew me a flag

When it is believed by one of the parties in a conversation or brainstorming that everyone has reached a consensus on a topic and therefore they all can move to the next phase. The hope is that everyone will say it eventually to indicate their personal commitment ('sew me') to the decisions that have been agreed to ('a flag'). It was purportedly first used in 1776 by George Washington to Betsy Ross to get that whole flag project going. Popularized again in 2011 by musical improv team Mansical with their performance 'Flag' at a New York improv festival (youtube - phrase is used at 2:12). It is most effective when used with the 'Betsy Ross' lead-in as shown in the example, but the generic version is more typically heard in business settings.

Betsy Ross!! Sew me a flag!!!!

Sewing Blind

Sewing Blind : Weaves comments in and out of social networking threads/forums totally missing the 'eye' of the thread. LOL

Has no understanding of what the first statement was about, or doesn't care and posts impertinent (that have nothing to do with the subject) comments.

John is always Sewing Blind, he never quite gets it!

Jane is always Sewing Blind, she should pay attention to what she's reading, she's always making comments that no one can understand.

rusty sewing machine

The opposite of a rusty trombone. Internationally hand signalled by pointing your index finger toward a fictional v-hole while feigning to lick an imaginary fecally stained sphincter.

The other night when my girl came over, instead of getting a rusty trombone I thought I'd do something nice for her. I told her to use the Kamode but not to wipe. Tonight was going to be her special night. The night of the rusty sewing machine.

can your granny sew?

A delicate way of telling someone you are about to perform an act of violence upon them, esp. the application of a Liverpool Kiss to the nose or the use of a Stanley knife. Follwed up by the action, then the use of the phrase " Then get THAT stitched!" Scottish traditional folk saying.

English man in pub;"Celtic Thistle are not doig well this year..."
Scot:"Oh Aye? Can your granny sew, mate?"
