slept like a baby

edited April 2008 in All Encompassing Trip
the girl in my work said she "slept like a baby last night"... and i said "so you woke up every 3 hours and cried for no reason then?"

i was trying to think of other phrases that dont make sense to me and I can only think of "horses for courses" ... i just dont get that?


and when someone says "do bears shit in the woods?"... well no they dont, polar bears live in an arctic tundra.. there are no trees.
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I'm so hungry i could eat a horse

    really??? not just a 16oz steak and chips? a horse would be a bit dry... you'd need a sauce.

    this thread isnt "things your girlfriend might say to you in bed..." its about phrases and proverbs that dont actually make sense.

    Thanks for clarifying...I thought it was about terrible jokes that your perverted uncle told you at thanksgiving...then proceeded to try to touch you inappropriately and you told your mom about it and she didn't believe you, but then he did it again at christmas and your mom saw him and then she believed you and now you are going through 3 fucking hours of therapy each day and your uncle is on some fucked up child love website receiving a shit ton of hate male for being a little boy lover and stuff like that.

    Guess I misunderstood.

    For the longest time I thought 'Waste not want not' made no sense at all.. I was like 'So if you don't waste something, you don't want it? Huh?' But now I know it means that 'If you don't waste what you have, you'll not want for anything else'...

    which *sort of* qualifies for this thread, but sort of doesn't.

    Well I believe you gave quite the psychological in depth reply to my Thinking the Unthinkable thread.

    Another one often uttered by myself is "fuck a duck!", not gonna happen really.

    Also "it's a miserable/sad/happy day", which would imply that the day had feelings, when it is infact just a measure of time.

    Young workers' phrases I don't get! :cool:

    "Get your foot in the door" --- why just the foot??? why not your entire self!!!
    "Get your feet wet" ---why get your feet wet when you're new at the job???

    "Three sheets to the wind"
    it's an old nautical expression. A sheet was, surprisingly, the rope holding a sail, not the sail itself. If sheets were flapping in the wind then obviously they weren't holding their sails down and the ship would bob about like a drunken sailor.

    'Better late than never...'

    Clearly this is not always the case, therefore does it deserve to be a catch-all proverb applicable to every situation?

    How about "Mad as a wet hornet"

    Can you tell that they are more upset when they are wet?

    Only the dry ones have actually stung me.

    I'm pretty sure they're 'slippery when wet'... and then they die. :)

    "she eats like a bird" to describe someone who eats very little. Don't birds eat something like twice their body weight or something? (Don't want to take the time to look it up, but I know it's a lot..lol)

    Also, when people describe something as a "pigsty" if it's messy...and pigs are actually "neat". (I don't know how one measures the neatness of a pig's living habits, lol, but I've heard this on more than one occasion.)

    How about "Fuck like a rabbit"

    Who actually did that research, sick bastard...
