My favorite: take away someone's birthday.
As in: "What is he going to do, take away my birthday?"
Usage is kind of sarcastic...it means that that the "taker" is powerless to do anything at all.
No idea about the origin, I used to work for a guy who used it a lot. It stuck with me for some reason. I was in the northeastern US at the time.
