Just trying to see how many people can remember some "OLD" sayings our parents or grandparents used to say, my kids have heard them, and ask me, Mom what does that even mean, I can usually come up with a good idea, Like the old saying "Ass over teakettle", that’s pretty self explanatory, or "Like a Bull in a China cabinet", also pretty self explanatory, I always heard it as China Cabinet, others have corrected me and said it’s, China Closet, not Cabinet, they’ll add to that correction, well first of all a Bull can’t possibly fit in a cabinet, my response is, well I think that’s the point of the saying, if a Bull were in a China Cabinet, he’d break everything in it, any takes on that one, how have others heard it said? Also let’s see how many old sayings we can come up with………?
Here’s another one I just thought of, "Your speaking to the choir", I have never really figured that one out, anyone know what that one means? or a general idea?
Things like:
"Can’t teach an old dog new tricks."
"Like two peas in a pod."
"Birds of a feather flock together."
"Happy as a clam."
"Don’t count your chickens before they hatch."
"Eye for an eye."
"Can the leopard change his spots?"
"Beauty is but skin deep."
"All that glitters is not gold."
"The pen is mightier than the sword."
"Nothing is certain but death and taxes."
"Blood is thicker than water."
"Steal my thunder."
"When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
"Live to fight another day."
"Don’t bite the hand that feeds you."
"That put me through the wringer."
"Bells and whistles…" (As in, it’s got too many bells and whistles.)
"He dropped the ball."
"It’s like trying to get blood out of a stone."
"Once in a blue moon."
"Add fuel to the fire."
"He’s got an ace up his sleeve."
"That’s just a drop in the bucket."
"A day late and a dollar short."
"A dime a dozen."
"A broken clock is right twice a day."
"A cold day in hell."
"Lord willing and the creek don’t rise."
"I could eat a horse."
"I’m a monkey’s uncle."
"Rome wasn’t built in a day."
"Black as the ace of spades."
"See the world through rose colored glasses."
"Like waving a red flag in front of a bull."
"White as a sheet."
"Dry as a bone."
"Carry the weight of the world on your shoulders."
Oh, and I always heard, "Like a bull in a china shop"…which I assume would fit a bull better than a cabinet or a closet!
