married up

When someone's other half is better than them.

Back in the day this would have been used of marrying someone higher up in society, but nowadays it's just generally when someone is punching above their weight in the romance department. If you use it about yourself it's a compliment. If someone else uses it about you, they basically think you're ugly.

"Did your wife make you those sandwiches? They look amazing."
"I know! I married up."

OR

"Buck-toothed Jimmy just got married! Check out the wedding shots!"
"She is hot. That guy seriously married up!"

married to the sea

The daily webcomic by the creators of Toothpastefordinner and Natalie Dee, generally a little off-the-wall and at least chuckle-invoking. Each update is a Victorian-style drawing (thing) with the punchline generally being delivered by the text.

"MTTS" debuted February 13, 2006 and has gained considerable popularity, or so one would think. There is a store where you can buy bags or shirts for a decent price, like TPFD and ND.

"Oh god. People are still reading Hamlet? Jesus. I wrote that shit in like one fortnight. I owed some people some money, you know what I'm saying? Shakespeare got to get paid, son."

The first Married to the Sea comic, with the above quote next to a picture of Shakespeare.
