Look a steady arcade gig is nothing to sneeze at. 
$1,000 is nothing to sneeze at. 
$10,000,000 is super low budget but it’s still nothing to sneeze at. 

All clear! = It's safe to come out now.
I'm buying! = It's on me.
But.. it is what it is.

a shabby place ボロボロの場所
Not too shabby. = Pretty good. 
Where do you call home?  = Where do you live? / Where are you from?
