A blessing in disguise.
Why is it disguised? Sounds kinda shady. If it needs to disguise itself, it’s not much of a blessing is it?
A dime a dozen.
A phrase used to say something is common or inexpensive. “Experts in this field come a dime a dozen.” Last time I checked, I haven’t paid a dime for a dozen of anything. We should change the phrase to match inflation. “Experts in this field cost a dozen dimes.” That’s fun.
Beat around the bush.
What’d the bush do to you?
Better late than never.
Better never late, Jerry!
Bite the bullet.
Historically, medical patients would bite down on a bullet to endure extreme pain through surgical procedures without anesthesia. I like to imagine this was the original application for bullets. Jim Bullet, the creator of bullets obviously, was probably really upset when his invention was found to be a perfect fit for guns. “Hey, what are we going to do with all these weirdly shaped and tremendously inconvenient walking canes?”
Break a leg.
Thanks, guy.
Call it a day.
What else would you call it?
Under the weather.
Very few have been over it.
Hang in there.
Don’t patronize me.
Pulling your leg.
Please don’t.
Pull yourself together.
I’m not pulling anything.
Getting out of hand.
Whose hand? What’s getting out of it?
You’re guess is as good as mine.
I’m lost.
It’s hard to wrap your head around.
You know, a lot of these don’t make sense when you think about them.
You can say that again.
If there was a crowd, Grandma would always say…”Everybody and their brother was there today!!”
That’s a good one too;)
