6 and 1/2 dozen of another. What your best definintion?

Answer 1

Six of One - Half a Dozen of another

When you get a cold - you can go to the Doctor - get $50 of visit and perscriptions and be well in 7 days

or you can let it run its course and be well in a week

*sigh*

Answer 2

It refers to an equal gain in two different things. For example, cats and dogs were worth the same amount, six cats would be worth 1/2 dozen dogs - but they are still different.

It is very similar to the phrase "6 up, half a dozen down" - meaning as you make some progress in one area, you get a set back in another area.

Answer 3

"6 one, 1/2 dozen the other."

It means the same thing said two different ways.

If I call it a car, and you call it an automobile. I say plane, you say jet.

Its night outside or its dark outside.

Six one, half dozen the other.

Answer 4

I wasn't going to answer since my answer was already pretty much stated, but, then I noticed something. How can you give thumbs down??? How silly. To me it means two things are basically the same. Either way you turn, you are most likely screwed.

Answer 5

My best definition: that two things are equal just described in different ways. example: You may say she si a flight attendant, I may say she is a stewardess

Answer 6

Put them together and that would be a dozen.

Answer 7

That's a quote not a definition. My best quote is from the new James Bond film, Casino Royale. -

'I have no armour left. You've stripped it from me. Whatever is left of me - whatever is left of me - whatever I am - I'm yours.'

-- Hopeless romantic that I am

Answer 8

It means two things are pretty much the same in the end.

Answer 9

Oh that's like comparing apples to oranges. Hope I helped.

Answer 10

They are the same in the end
