roll your own
A situation where someone needs to perform a task but the method to complete the task doesn't exist so she has to create the solution herself. It derives from "rolling your own" cigarettes versus buying pre-made cigarettes.
Example:
Computer programmer #1: Is there a built-in function to filter the database?
Computer programmer #2: Sorry, man, you're going to have to roll your own.

your own name
Example:
Guy 1 - yoo i just searched up my own name on the urban dictionary and guess what, it said that people with this name were sexy hot sweet and kind! imma show this to my friends hahaha
Guy 2 - Get some help. Why on Earth do you need to search up your own name in the Urban Dictionary and make a big un about it? In fact, your name has NOTHING to do with you and your personality. Sure, search it up for the sole desire of curiosity. But don't go any further than that. The only one person in charge of your etiquette and character is you yourself. You don't need validation from random people on the internet, you don't need validation from strangers whom you have never meet/will never meet in your whole life. The only to true pathway to inner peace is self validation from yourself. If you don't like yourself, then you won't be able to progress much in your life. If you don't love yourself, you won't have true and genuine harmony in life.

hold your own
To be able to handle yourself in a fight or similar situation, with little or no help from anyone else.

Be Your Own Bitch
A phrase used when a friend shows significant signs of emotional distress linked to sexuality, sexual/romantic frustration, or even intimate isolation.
It generally means to take charge of who you want to be in regards to sexual identity, how you want to be treated, and how you project yourself on a sexual/romantic level.
The phrase can be applied to both sexes, but refers specifically to someone who is either the submissive partner in a relationship, or desires to be the submissive partner in either a current or future relationship.

Example:
Tim: I’ve been going through a lot lately. I don’t feel like I have control of who I am as a person.
Lucas: I know man, you aren’t very good at hiding it. Shit like this is rough, but you got to remember who’s in control of you. Be your own bitch!
Tim: Be my own bitch?
Lucas: Be your own bitch!
Tim: Be my own bitch!
Sarah: What are you guys talking about?
Tim and Lucas: Be your own bitch!

Holding your own
See also: Hold my own. Most say it started out as meaning to stand your ground, to not let life, or anyone else for that matter, push you around. This is generally regarded to be the most likely, but more dull definition. But others have come to believe it means simply to cup your genitalia in your hand. This, frankly is wrong, but still mildly humourous.
Example:
"Holding your own is tough in court thesedays."
"He is managing to hold his own on the pitch."
"She is holding her own in this debate, don't you think?"
"Holding your own is tough in court thesedays."
"He is managing to hold his own on the pitch."
"She is holding her own in this debate, don't you think?"
mind your own
Shortened version of "mind your own business." What you would tell to someone giving unwanted advice or butting in a debate/argument that has nothing to do with them.
Example:
1. Mom A. "Why do you feed your baby FORMULA??!! That's like feeding her poison!!!"
Mom B. At least I can FEED my baby. Shut up and mind your own.
