As a curtsey, you shouldn't back talk Papa Chained, lest you get a forced spanking from him.

*assumes the position ... as a courtesy.

Hey Trekka! High fives!

Woot woot!

Sorry for kinda sorta stepping outside the lines Chained....had to acknowledge and show love for one of the most iconic crotches in rock-n-roll history.

Iconic rock n roll crotches... yes!!

Well. As a curtsey to everyone here, I vow to pay more attention to autocorrects.

It's been said that curiosity killed the cat. But with 9 lives, that cat must have been either the most curious cat in the history of cats, or just plain stupid. Being stuck between a rock and a hard place, has anyone ever been stuck between something hard and soft? How about if you've seen one, you've seen a million. Seeing a million of anything is a lot. Maybe after a snow fall you can see a million flakes, but a million is a lot.

So, clearly my topic is about sayings, cliches, phrases, what have you, that are used but don't make any sense. Are we that lazy in our communicative styles that we have to rely on sayings to make our point? What other sayings do you find particularly conflicting or not all that appropriate? Why do you use them? Or are you a purist of thought and word, and would never say anything of the sort?

I like it when I encounter one which has been translated into English from another language. And it does work, actually, you can get the sense of it, but it's not an English saying. Like this from a German colleague this morning about a client: "He keeps 'searching for the lost key under the lantern'". I know what he means...

 

[RubenesqueAphrodite]

"Pretty is as pretty does."
"Beauty is but skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone."
"Want in one hand, shit in the other, then see which gets filled quicker."

All useful phrases I grew up with that I find neither lazy or ambiguous in their meaning.

Anyone who has read my posts, will see I'm quite fond of analogies, similes, metaphors...

I use "sayings" very often in my speech as the topic usually calls for some levity which I'm more than happy to provide. (Chained would HATE being in a meeting with me. My upper management has learned to embrace it.)



Edit: on phrases that don't make sense...that can be fun to figure out, but no I don't see a practical use for them.

 

[GiggLeGasm]

I said to my sons once, "cheaters never win."
With perplexed faces, they looked at me as to say, "how could you be so naive?"

"mom," said the middle son, "why do you think they cheat?"

 

[ChainedUp]

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

What the fuck is the cake for, if not eating?! Seriously?

Common ground, common ground.

 

[Lord Pmann]

It is, you can't have both. Like, you can't have a hard dick and be covered in cum (because the dick gets soft afterwards). Not mine. But most everyone else's. I presume that's why my baton was "dibbed" earlier.

I hate how people use the word literally. It's overused. And usually they mean figuratively. Examples...

Incorrect (unless perhaps you live in The Sudan): I could literally die of starvation I'm so hungry right now.

Incorrect: I could literally fall asleep standing up.

Correct: These improper uses of this word literally make me want to poke their eyes out with AIDS dicks.

Also, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me". First off, I take issue with the negative connotation of sticks. Secondly, that's ridiculous. Of course they can. Words can hurt far worse than physical pain.

Not really a saying, but it's pronounced NEW-clee-uhr. Why on earth can't people pronounce the word nuclear correctly. Fucking hell. It's three syllables.

 

[italiansexylady]

"Six of one, half dozen of the other."
Can't you just say it's the same?

 

[All_4_Love]

Sayings, cliches, old quotes that have been passed down through the ages... I love them. I'm such a lover of quotes.

Of course, they're not meant to be taken literally. But when you search for the deeper meaning, I have found them mostly to be true. Searching for the deeper meaning in things is a passion of mine, so it makes sense that I would be passionate about things that are metaphorical.

Also, when life experience finally adds up enough that a cliche you've heard through the years all of a sudden makes sense? Awesome! When out of the blue, it just resonates? Yep!

The same with old favorite songs that you've loved for years, then all of a sudden you go through something in your life, and you hear the song, and then it just clicks! The song becomes even more of a favorite because you finally understand the true meaning, you feel the song, you relate, instead of just hearing it. It's like falling in love all over again. *swoon*

Whoops! I didn't answer the question. Sorry, I must not have one.

 

[All_4_Love]

^ Female Chained. So many words and not one answer.

Bwahaha!

So true.

 

[ViciousTease]

"Want in one hand, shit in the other, then see which gets filled quicker."

I hated when my mother would say that and she said it often. Of course, now I say it to my kids. They hate it, too.

This isn't really an answer to your questions, but a funny story. One of the phrases my mother was fond of never made sense to me as a child. She would say "like a tick on a june bug." It was used in the same way you might use "like white on rice". What the hell? June bugs don't have ticks?? A few years ago, I finally pointed out that june bugs don't have ticks. When she stopped laughing she said, "It's ... like a duck on a june bug." My hearing is flawed.

Yeah, that was random.

Listen here, pal... I don't have a badge but I'm about to issue you a citation, anyhow.

Go easy on him A4L, he's a wee lad and doesn't handle pain well. Unless you want to count that dick punching thread dedicated to him.

*gulp*

*does a curtsy and bows out gracefully*

 

[ChainedUp]

Papa_Love knows when his game is over.

Now don't go besmirching A4L. She's a lovely woman with a heart way kinder than mine. It's an injustice to her to lump her with me.

That's what C Daddy would say...

Oh, I highly doubt that, Chained, but thank you for the compliment.

One can never have enough kindness of the heart, nor love. Something I strive for more of, each and every day. It's my definition of success.

Did he just make fun of starvation, the Sudanese crisis, AIDS, and speech impairments all in one post?!

*un-dibs his baton!

 

[Trekka]

Has he told you about his uncle in Auschwitz yet?

I'm afraid to even ask.
