not keeping up with the Jone's

Not buying the latest and greatest, making do with what you have, because you have more important places to put the money, such as your kids education or your retirement.

Why am I not keeping up with the Jone's ? My son and my money both go to Marquette.

rotten grapes

A goal or object that looked really desirable from a distance, but not worth the cost close up. From grapes that looked good on the vine , but proved rotten when eaten-ed. The opposite of sour grapes.

How's the new computer? Rotten grapes, and it's going back.

pull a rabbit out of my ass

optical delusion

When you see things as you want them to be, not as they really are.

That fox is really staring at me, she wants me to know that she wants me. Dude you're under an optical delusion, that's a glare not a stare, and if you go over there, she'll slap you blind.

pretty prancing pony

A coworker who puts on a show for the boss, but does no real work. The bosses' pet,who gets away with murser. As apposed to a pack mule who doesn't look like much, but does most of the real work.

She's a pretty prancing pony and the bosses' pet. The trouble with this place is there are too many ponies and not enough mules.

donors remorse

The feeling you get after you have given money or merchandise that you have been scammed.

I gave several computers to a woman who claimed they would go to nursing homes. Now I see those computers listed on craigslist. What you're feeling is donors remorse it's common for people who don't check out who they are giving to. And yes it's likely she's a scammer, craigslist is loaded with them.
