what an odd thing to say
So I was thinking about phrases. Generic statements and random things people say in conversations. Figures of speech and cliches. Like:
“There’s no I in team”:
It is such a random thing to say! You could say anything really, like “there’s no o in team”, or “there’s no mayo in team”. All I could find in team was tea!
“Boys will be boys”:
Um, well medically speaking that is not really necessary…
“No means no”:
Speaking from personal experience, unfortunately this not always the case.
“Up on cloud number nine”:
Well if you’re that high up I really don’t think you’ll be counting the clouds really. Am I right? The clouds will be the least of your problems.
“My way or the highway”:
What if you want to just stay where you are?
“The shit hits the fan”:
Was there ever such an incident? I would really want to know how it happened. Was it some kind of a dare? Or a bet that someone couldn’t hit the fan if they threw shit towards it? Plus it’s disgusting to even think of what would happen next, especially if the fan is on…
“Busier than a one-legged man at an ass kicking contest.”:
That really makes me laugh! Just picture it! Quality!
“Bite the dust”:
Out of all the things one could bite, why should they choose dust? How do you actually bite dust? It’s too small! If you really had to consume some dust I suppose it would be easier if you inhaled it…but then again, oh forget it.
“Stand on your own two feet”:
Well I’d rather you didn’t stand on mine!
“Spill the beans!”:
This is for the really messy people.
“Hotter than a fat man’s ass crack in July”:
Are you seriously telling me that someone actually thought about how hot a fat man’s ass crack can get, depending on the season? Oh, and also, ew!
“Stretch the truth”:
Who’s to say what’s true and what’s not? Think of it this way: There is no spoon!
“Money doesn’t grow on trees”:
A man can dream, so just let him, will you?
Who comes up with these?

GreekGoddess said:what do you mean money doesn’t grow on trees? You kidding me right? Before I come to live in US they told me that dollars grow on trees.. like leaves…that’s why I came.. SHOOT you jsut ruined my life you know that??
How about “bite me” .well why would I want that?
or “I play it by ear” what does the ear have to do with anything? and do you mean my ear or your ear?
A lot of those expressions seemed really weird to me when I first came to live in this country.. now I just use em
