What stupid sayings do you dislike and why?

'Elephants never forget' is one I don't like, cos it strikes me that elephants don't really have all that much to remember, apart from where food and water is.

Plenty more fish in the sea.........


Well my net must have a bloody big hole in it.

'Cheap at half the price........'


Well, duh.

tim

oooh i dunno if this fits in here but i know loads of daft old farming ones (farmers daughter)

Red sky at night shepherds delight, red sky in themorning shepherds warning

a dry and a rainy june puts the farmers pipe in tune

cast not a clout 'til may be out

a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush

Ice in November to bear a duck, the rest of the winter'll be slush and muck




.... before anyone asks i have no idea! something to do with old farmer sayings and weather lore...

i love the never mind you'll get over it... cos it gets used in the wrong situations like your dog has been run over and killed, you failed exams and cant retake them.. etc

'It's always darkest before the dawn'

...is just utter nonsense - i think you'll find it's always darkest at the time half way between sunset and sunrise....

'The way to a man's heart is through his stomach'


Er no it's through his rib cage
