"I slept like a baby last night"

Don't babies constantly wake up and cry most of the night?

[Ramsay]

''I could care less''
So you do care?

''I could care less''
So you do care?

The original phrase was always "I couldn't care less"... Which makes perfect sense... I have no idea how it morphed into this nonsense. It seems to be an American thing. It grates on me every time I hear it on TV :/. Maybe it's supposed to be sarcasm? But it never sounds like sarcasm...

Cows lying down means its going to rain

"I slept like a baby last night"

Don't babies constantly wake up and cry most of the night?

Many comedians have used that one... "slept like a baby last night!... I kept waking up crying, and I wet myself". Etc..

That said, a friend of mine has a baby who sleeps like a log for 12 hours straight. Maybe whoever came up with the phrase had one of those?

''I could care less''
So you do care?

I think it preempts the rest of the statement, 'I could care less...But I don't'

'I turned around and said' and 'at the end of the day' are two phrases that annoy me they are used to death and they don't really mean anything.

[Mystic Mock]

You can kill two birds with one stone..... no you can not because after you've hit the one bird with a stone the other one will just fly away.

Not a saying as such but

'Not to be rude but....' finishes the sentence by being rude.

'He's like marmite, you either love him or hate him'.

I hear "I can't see the wood for the trees" a lot. I hate it.

[Ammi]

'He's like marmite, you either love him or hate him'.

When everybody either likes or dislikes something or someone. :idc:

..what if he is called Marmite..?...

[Ryan57]

..what if he is called Marmite..?...

Then he tastes like sh*t. :p

[Ammi]

Then he tastes like sh*t. :p

[Kazanne]

I'll wipe that smile off your face and Don't come running to me when you fall and break your leg.

[AnnieK]

Not a saying as such but

'Not to be rude but....' finishes the sentence by being rude.

This...along with...
"I'm not being funny,but..."
"No offense, but.."

Also putting 110% in when its just it possible

..an apple a day keeps the doctor away....no..

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

... Is a bird really worth anything, anyway? I mean maybe some sort of rare bird, but... Just a normal bird? Could I quit my job and just go around swiping sparrows out of bushes?

[Livia]

"You're joking me". It's not proper English and it makes people sound stupid.

[LikeABoatOnWater]
