Bring us your expression

What they say where you're from and isn't in the Slangtionary yet

You are adding to Burn bridges. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

Where is it said? Where the expression is used, which need not be only your own patch.
