Falling Apart
When ur depressed and suicidal constantly thinking about what's bad in ur life, and mentally failing to succeed
2. is about yams. And angry black men. But mostly yams.
3. that makes African tribal men sound like mormons.
"Things fall apart, indeed. My soul fell apart when I was forced to read this book."
"Yeah, man, I feel you. Did you know their inability to grow yams is symbolic of the lack of plot lines to fuel the story?"

Wal-Mart Fall Apart
Though this phrase originally referred to products from Wal-Mart being of poor quality, it may now also refer to the communities essentially destroyed by Wal-Mart - it throws its weight around and puts everyone else in the area out of business, essentially destroying the local economy while ensuring that what's left of it depends solely on Wal-Mart for survival.
