Cliches......

[Mistress]

Have you ever wondered how certain sayings came about? I do and I like to look up the meanings and stories behind some of them..anyone else ever wonder about a certain cliche?

Nope. I'm content as a bug in a rug not knowing about cliches.

Throw (empty,pour) the baby out with the bathwater:

Discard the essential with the waste;disregard the important thing.

George Bernard Shaw used that saying alot it may have originated from him
