sleep on it

when someone says something really stupid or obvious that ruins a good joke, everyone but the person who killed the joke goes to sleep. this makes the person who made the killing comment realize that they are an idiot and that they should leave the country.

(someone just got teabagged in march madness '06, this happens when someone tries to defend a dunk under the basket)

kid 1 - hahahaha march madness 06 is so funny cuz on half of the dunks, someone gets balls in their face

kid 2 - hahahahahaha yeah i know! like half the defenders get teabagged when they try to play defense on a dunk!

kid 3 - sleep on it

kid 2 - ok i'm leaving

Sleep-on-it test

An idea that seems great must pass a good night's sleep to be truly great.

Marijn called Joris with a supposedly good idea, just before the night set, so they could perform the sleep-on-it test. Turns out: next morning it seemed AWESOME. To the moon!

Put that in your pillow and sleep on it.

Another, more sophisticated way for gentlefolk to say, “take that.”

George: “The mine will fail.”

Ross: “But our freedom never will.”
George: (defeated)
Ross: “Put that in your pillow and sleep on it.”

don’t sleep on it

To make a decision early, before sleeping, therefore meaning it stays in your head.

Your idea is amazing, don’t sleep on it
