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.

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.

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"
