the straw that broke the camel's back

The last straw. The final bit needed to tilt the balance over to one side or send one over the edge.

After following her around for days and making obscene phone calls he threatened her son. For her, that was the straw that broke the camel's back and she went to the police.

Get Woke, Go Broke

A term that points out that adding divisive political posturing to your product alienates the bulk of the costumer base, especially when the divisive political content is explicitly added to label the old consumers racist, homophobic, transphobic, or white supremacists in an attempt to virtue signal for the company.

This usually results in the creators of said product to blame racism, homophobie, transphobia, and white supremacy for the failure of the established consumers to spend money on the product after the company labeled them such.

The producers of Disney Star Wars called fans of the original franchise misogynistic, as a result many of the fans stopped buying tickets, which was then used as evidence that the fans were exactly what the producers of Disney Star Wars called them. The result was that the franchise failed to maintain it's following, get woke, go broke.

you broke my heart

when someone hurts you so badly that you just want to curl up and cry. not physically hurting you; mentally. when love goes wrong is when you break your heart. you feel like you'll never find someone else like that person again.

her:i love you so much.
him: im sorry..but i think we should just be friends.
her: you broke my heart...

you broke it, you bought it

When you break something in a store, then they make you pay for it.

I got a bill from the store after I accidentally drove through the front door! The letter said you broke it, you bought it.

You broke the coffee pot

When you go to bed past your bedtime enough days in a row that no amount of coffee can bring you pass the point of zombie.

“Man, you look like you broke the coffee pot.” “Yeah, I haven’t slept more than three hours a night working on this damn project.”

Broke-Back-Hill

Broke-Back-Hill is deprived of both Bellmont Hill, and the newest Hollywood blockbuster movie about gay cowboys, Broke Back Mountain.

I go to Broke-Back-Hill and I like cowboys.

You broke up Pantera!

Something you might say when there is no rational explanation or excuse for someone's bad behaviour. Comes from the statment yelled by a gunman who on December 8, 2004, attacked members of a band named Damageplan and its fans. Two of the members of Damageplan had previously been members of the band Pantera.

Dad: Why didn't you do your chores?
Son: You broke up Pantera!
Dad: !?
