That's gotta be worth some kind of badge or honor.

"Sir, put that away."Rarhnor said:"stop, or I'll file a restraining order against you"
I think it's supposed to mean the village had everything bad happen to it that could have happened, but it wasn't completely destroyed.Instant K4rma said:_____ Was all but ____
Example: The village was all but destroyed.
Translation: The village was destroyed.
But wait, I thought it was all but destroyed? No?
What is this I don't even....
I've heard this one countless of times. I also don't get it.Rarhnor said:"stop, or I'll file a restraining order against you"
The phrase would have to be quite new for that, I think it runs older because the whole spray drink in shock trope is like 50 years old at most.Dracowrath said:I think that's supposed to be that someone looks so much like another person, that those viewing the two people spit whatever they were drinking in shock.Baneat said:New phrase not understood
Spitting image.
I think it means that you can't eat a cake while still having the cake, if you eat a cake you no longer have it, which still makes no sense, I've eaten the cake, it has served its purpose, why do I need to have the cake if I'm not going to eat it?!?retyopy said:"have your cake and eat it too." If I have a cake, it's because I'm going to eat it.
So... Go crazy.
I remember a video that explained this somewhere on youtube (I think it may have been that HotForWords chick) but it's something to do with animals hiding in or on rooftops and when it rains hard enough they fall off said roof. Or it could be a reference to that strange phenomenon where an updraft will pull up small animals into the cloud before raining them down again.KaizokuouHasu said:Round two; "It's raining cats and dogs." - How do you come up with something like that?! A rain droplet is nothing like the size or shape or colour or anything at all in the way of a cat or dog. If it was raining domestic pets the neighbourhood would be covered with flattened cretins and blood and gore.
It's because of sad music - it's usually played on the violin. So when someone whines, you give them the world's smallest violin (since you don't really care).the spud said:I still don't see the connection between whining and tiny violins. It isn't like it makes a difference.
Somebody's been maiking lots of threads.
Same here, I feel the same way with "Same difference" as well.dex-dex said:YES!Kurai Angelo said:That's because retards say it wrong.Soxafloppin said:INB4 "I could care less"
Umad?
Edit: Head over Heels, My head is generally over my heels, regardless of mood.
It's "I couldn't care less."
anytime I correct people with the phrase " I could care less" telling them it makes no sense
I go into this type of rant
Korolev said:4) "It's always darkest before dawn". This makes no sense at all - it's equally dark before 1 hour before dawn as it is 4 hours before dawn (at least in most parts of the world). In fact, juuuuuuust before dawn, the sky starts to get a little brighter. Whoever came up with this phrase obviously never saw a sunrise.

A bit off topic but when I was living in America I was criticised all the time for pronouncing H in herb. Pronounce it that way if you want, but don't change the language and get indignant because the rest of the world doesn't follow suit.
It means that there's no-one better. Like how even if someone was absolutely amazing at a sport, this player would be as good, if not better than them.lotr rocks 0 said:In sports when commentators say "He's as good as anyone at _____" If he's as good as anyone then what's so great about him?
Its meant that the cows are out in the pasture and it takes them all day to make it back home. *I'm a cattle farmer*Death God said:"You can ____ 'till the cows come home."
Why aren't the cows already home? And why would I do something until my cows come back? Also:
"You can go tell that to Joe Blow down the street for all I care!"
????
And "expecially". +500 points if they even spell it that way.Byere said:Phrases have never bothered me... it's wording that bothers me.
Prime example has already been said "I could care less". As rightly stated, it's supposed to be "I couldn't care less".
Something that really bugs me though is when people don't even pronounce the words correctly in real life. Like when people say "pacific/pacific-ly" instead of "specific/specifically" or "perfec" instead of "perfect". (my mother always drilled it into my head to pronounce my t's every time). yea, I know, it's a minor pet peeve, but it does my head in when people constantly do it... my sister being a worst-case-offender...
