It is much more than a phrase, it is a desease! Well not quite that bad but in some cases it has been known to cause:
Dizziness: From thinking about it so thang much
Loss of Sleep: From trying to diside what you want or what you can afford if you can afford anything at all.
Anxiaty: Once you have ordered something you want it then and you hate to have to wait.
Marital Problems: Once you get that gear all you do is want to play with it and sometimes the Wife does not appreciate that.
Okay it is a desease, at least in my case anyway.
