Sayings/phrases that don't make sense..
 

..yeah I know this has been done before but well, we can have our cake and eat it...what ridiculous sayings/phrases do you know that make no sense at all..?...


..a game of two halves...well obviously...:bored:...

I really hate that saying. You could say it gets my goat (another which makes no sense)

you cant have your cake and eat it too. that annoys me of course you can

There's tons i hate most of them lol

I would rather eat a horse.

But these times we have probably been doing that for 10+ years without knowing.

If you are tired of london you are tired of life

a saying from 2 centuries ago that made zero sense back then and is just as meaningless today

"I slept like a baby last night"

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

''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


er, no it does not

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 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.

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'.

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

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

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

Then he tastes like sh*t. :p

..:laugh:..that guy Marmite..:fist:...

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

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

Also putting 110% in when its just it possible

:fist:

..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?

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

When dumb ass americans say 'I could care less' instead of 'I couldn't care less'

"I like Lady Gaga"
