Sayings that make no sense
Jan 28, 2021, 12:42 PM

Throw them out there! The one I hate the most is "He wants his cake and eat it too!" Dang right, what the hell is the point of having a cake if I can't eat it?
What are some of your others?

once you've eaten it - it's gone. No having to be had.
You can however, have your cake and eat it.

Open any dictionary and look up INSANITY..it does not say this anywhere. That isn't the definition of Insanity yet people repeat it.

The terms ‘driveway’ and ‘parkway’ should trade descriptions- you park in the former and drive in the latter...
‘Hot water heater’ is redundant and not an accurate description
‘Irregardless’ drives me insane, and its amazing how many otherwise intelligent people use the word
‘Luke warm’ just irks me for some reason

The saying somehow got twisted. It was originally, "You want to eat your cake and have it to."
Meaning: You want to enjoy something and still have it to enjoy again.

Some football analyst and PBP sayings I hate:
Jan 29, 2021, 8:01 AM
|
|
"1st down and MORE!" unless it's by penalty any 1st down achieved is more than the line to gain.
"Smash mouth football". Stop, just stop.
1 from golf: breaks "left to right" or "right to left". If it breaks left it has to go right and vice versa.
Some from basketball:
"pure shooter" "bigs"

Also, while not really a saying, the term "occasional tables" has always bugged me. Makes it sound like they are something other than tables most of the time. Are they shape shifters?
