There were several phrases he said when someone pulled his string.  The only one I can think of is, "Say your prayers."  Perhaps you're thinking of Buzz Lightyear's catchphrase, "To infinity, and beyond!"  Love that movie.

It came from England during the 100 Years War. The English, or Welsh, used a weapon called a "longbow". You would pull the string of the longbow back with your middle finger and pluck it to release the arrow which could be accurate up to 250 yards. The French were so afraid of the English longbow, that they would cut the middle fingers off the English they captured to keep them from using the longbow. When the English won the war they held up their middle fingers to the French as a jester to say "I can still pluck you." In the translation over time it came to be known as "F*** You!"

I'm not 100% certain, but every time I hear it I want to punch the person who said it in the face and/or run them over with my car (or a larger car).  \n\nIt's usual colloquial usage is when someone does something very rude, cruel, or generally nasty and wants to follow it up with an insincere apology thus cementing their total lack of tact.\n\nHypothetical situation:\nTwelve year old Jenny hits a volleyball lightly over the net at a family party.  Uncle Chad, who's had a few Budweisers already, leaps up and spikes the ball as hard as possible into her face.\n"My bad!"

The meaning of life is like a bar of soap. The harder you try to grip it, the more often it slips out of your fingers.

Read the definition below.  It is a Latin phrase - not "coined" or "invented" by any particular individual.\n\nLiterally, the phrase is Latin for "seize the day," from carpere (to pluck, harvest, or grab) and the accusative form of die (day). The term refers to a common moral or theme in classical literature that the reader should make the most out of life and should enjoy it before it ends. Poetry or literature that illustrates this moral is often called poetry or literature of the "carpe diem" tradition.

There are several answers to that questing depending on the context. In "computer land" getting fingered means someone has used a program to find information out about you. There is a UNIX command called "finger" that might tell somone your login name and possibly other information. In "people land" it could mean getting snitched on (like in a police line up when someone gets pointed out its called "getting fingered"). It also means someone (or yourself) puts their finger in you. It usually implies vaginal or an*l penetration with the finger.
