Check yourself before you wreck yourself

Take a step back and examine your actions, because you are in a potentially dangerous or sticky situation that could get bad very easily. Often in a harmful manner.

"I'm going out with a beautiful woman tonight, she's married..."

"Fool, you better Check yourself before you wreck yourself!"

don't count your chickens before they hatch

You should not assume that what you think will happen, will eventually happen. It's mostly used in cases where you would brag, plan, or make other deals before the event actually occurred. Originates from selling chickens based on how many eggs there is before you know how many eggs are viable. A few chickens may die, some may not hatch, and others eggs may break. Example: quitting your job or buying expensive items when your $1,000,000 sports bet looks likely but there's still two minutes more left in the game.

Hey Bob, you have to keep on playing hard. Even though we are up five goals with 5 minutes left, they can still come back. Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

I before E except after C

Something like the Teletubbies, as it was created by someone high on pot at the time. It barely even works. In terms of the words that have those kinds of letters, most of them break the rule, so it is pointless. Teams have lost the Spelling Bee just because they trusted the devil of spelling, I before E except after C. Even English teachers think that this is a shitty technique.

Teacher: I before E except after C.
Me: That's useless, there are so many exceptions.
Teacher: Detention.

mashed like never before

Phrase used by neandertholic goons, usually reaching over 6 feet in height and hairy, who idolize other goofy big 6 foot indians. Refers to act of getting homoerotic on shorter monkey-like Indians, and random tall guys, while consuming copious amounts of alcohol.

We must now get mashed like never before and stay in the club until the lights come on so I can talk to a bunch of tall GUYS.

I liked them before they became popular

Something a person says when a band they have liked forever becomes famous, and everyone starts talking about it. Said person gets irritated, rants, and says, "I liked them before they became popular." It's pretty much a more subtle way of saying, "FIRST" but it still makes you look like an asshole.

Person 1 : OH MAN I LOVE CHESTER FRENCH THEY ARE SO COOL WHEN THEIR MUSIC IS PLAYED ON MTV
Person 2 : I remember finding their Myspace way before they got famous. I liked them before they became popular.

Bros before hoes unless theres no clothes

Bros ALWAYS come first unless your getting laid

Use it as the main bros before hoes rule...

When someone says: bros before hoes, you correct them and say, "no!, Its bros before hoes unless theres no clothes" and I'm getting laid tonight!"
