Open up a can of worms - what a picture that evokes. One cliched expression i do unlike is "out with the previous, in with the hot." It no longer without postpone provides the effect there is something incorrect with the previous and the hot is greater effectual. yet another one i do no longer particularly trust is "in basic terms the good stay to tell the tale." that is not any longer the case. "lack of understanding is bliss" - no, lack of understanding is loss of understanding. I comprehend what's meant, even though it nonetheless grates. ***Edit: I forgot some that have been suggested, tremendously Goldfish's "beat a dull horse" (in no way) and "beat around the bush" (why?) and "all's honest in love and conflict" (i do no longer think of so). ***Edit 2: myth Rocks, I trust "think of exterior the container" and the form you placed it develop into particularly humorous (thank you for the chortle). You and Goldfish are so appropriate approximately "you won't be able to have your cake and consume it, too." What, certainly, is the factor? Is there anybody everywhere who needs a bite of cake as ornament? :) How approximately "appropriate decrease back at you?" i found out how lots I dislike it, expressive as that is, while i develop into approximately to function it in considered one of my edits on yet another question. real Confessions: i will unlike a number of them, yet i'm in command of utilising them each and all the comparable. ***returned: Oh, arabesque, "turn your frown the different way up" is so patronizing no longer without postpone. Uh, oh, Angel interior the Snow, i've got used the two heavily and no offense - yet you're appropriate. you additionally are appropriate that as quickly as somebody says "that is not any longer you, that is me" it generally ability the choice. good question. there are maximum of words off-limits now, i will in no way write returned. ?

Like a one legged man in an a*s kicking contest.
That is the dumbest one of all. Of course he will loose. He is an easy target for Christ's sakes. What's he going to do run after me?
