dysfunctional family
Definition: A family marked by problematic emotional relationships; parents and children who treat each other badly.

Etymology: 'Dysfunctional' means something that doesn't work or function properly
have egg on your
Definition: Ashamed; caught in an embarassing situation.
Example: 1) Jim really had egg on his face after he lost the bicycle race to a 10 year old girl.
2) If you do that, you'll end up with egg on your face.
Etymology: This phrase refers to the embarassment you feel when the eggs you are eating for breakfast end up on your face. (Apparently this used to be a real problem for men with beards.)
mosey along

Example: 1) Let's mosey along over to campus and get something to eat.
2) Are you crazy? You can't just mosey on in here 2 hours late for work! Who do you think you are?

Definition: To be in a delicate situation; to be on the edge of danger or ruin.
Example: 1) Ever since I smashed their car, I've been walking on eggshells with my parents.
2) We're walking on eggshells with our landlord -- she told us that if we have one more loud party, she's going to kick us out of our apartment.
Etymology: An 'eggshell' is the thin, white outer coating of an egg. The shell is very thin and breaks easily. So if you are 'walking on eggshells' you are in a situation where you could break something (or get in trouble or ruin everything) very easily.
Synonyms: walking on thin ice
veg out
Definition: To spend time relaxing, doing nothing at all.
Example: 1) After a long day at work, I usually just veg out in front of the TV.
2) I'm going to the mountains to veg out for a few days.
Etymology: 'Veg' is short for 'vegetable' (corn, potato, peas, etc.). When you 'veg out' you become like a vegetable - without thought or motion.
break a leg
Definition: Best wishes; good luck.
Example: 1) I hope your performance goes well. Break a leg!
Etymology: The phrase comes from the theater, where actors would try to create good luck by asking for bad luck. 'Break a leg' seems to be a cruel thing to say, but it means the opposite of what it appears to mean.
Synonyms: knock 'em dead
