Costume Help
Maybe you can help me. I need a list of common catch-phrases. This will help me decide a halloween costume. I take the phrase, and take it's literal meaning, and turn it into a costume.
Last year, for example, when someone asked me what I was, I told them, "Why, I'm the Total Package."
The costume consisted of a 80's style skirt made entirely of bubble wrap (well, sewn to a pair of shorts so that I wouldn't have to destroy the costume just to take it off) and top which bottom half was made of cardboard corset, the top half was a giant bow of brown packing paper (again, attached to a shirt.) I later added a shaw of bubble wrap to cover my arms more (was cold outside... plastic sure keeps the wind and cold out, might I add.) I think I have a picture of this on facebook, the original prototype, before i improved it later for a costume party in New York.
So I need more phrases like, "the bees knees" or "the cat's meow"... etc etc. Help?

Because slutty costumes are for non-creative girls.

Ahh...
How about Life is like a box of chocolates?
You can have a bunch of boxes of chocolates, and when you open them up, there could be messages about your life saying "you will be a successful business person" or "sorry, you have the HIV".

How about Muhammad Ali's famous "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee"?That'd be an awesome costume. You can go as a sexy bee-colored butterfly with a huge stinger. Something different that I think all of us wouldn't mind seeing. -Jeff.
