salt of the earth
Salt was used as a preservitive and was necessary to keep things from spoiling. So somone who is the "Salt of the earth" is a good person, someone who keeps things together.

i *love* this game!
A modern-day twist on the biblical exhortation of, "Let he who has done no wrong cast the first stone". (Sorry if i mangled the quote, Todd and others. I'm not religious.)
This cliche means that people shouldn't talk trash (or worse) about other people when they themselves have done stuff that's as bad.

Well, self explanatory. If you see something that looks and smells like shit...it is shit. Substitute any other word for shit. Ah, hell, there's a deeper meaning here. Pretty much, sometimes you have to take things at face value.

This means, essentially, that value in = value out.
In other words, if you put a lot (money, time, effort, sweat, thought, feelings, etc) into something or someone, you can expect to get out of it/them something of value.
The reverse is implied.
