This is inspired by Tbs's post about "same shit, different day"...what is your fav cliche?
We watched a rerun of a Few Good Men with Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise and Demi Moore. The Cruise character is a military lawyer and he trades cliches with the guy who has the news stand that he frequents daily. They go back and forth for their entire conversation. It cracked me up!
 
Since tbs needs to rant for a little while, I thought this would spread some joy in the meantime...in Philly they say: it's not the heat, it's the humidity....what do you say?
 
See you later....not if I see you first!

    Well, my favorite one is "sucks to be you", unless I'm the you they speak of.

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    It's not you--it's me.

    and....put that in your pipe and smoke it!

    thank you friends, I thought of some more:
    what goes around comes around,
    takes one, to know one...
    don't look a gift horse in the mouth...
     
    now I wished I had paid better attention in that movie!

    I also like this one:
     
    You can catch more flies with honey, than with vinegar.  My mom says that alot.  Of course, I have to take into consideration that she was always also fond of saying to me alot, "You make my ass hurt."
     
    I never got that one.  Something she grew up with, I suppose.  I hated that like I hated my sister sticking her middle finger out at me, and you all know what that means......ha...

    My repertoire has already been gone through completely....maybe that's because I took wombie's put that in your pipe and smoke it! a little too literally in my younger days - LOL.

    My uncle used to say, "I'll be there if all hell doesn't break loose and the creek don't rise."

    I like these too:

    Life is like a box of chocolates
    Stung by Cupid's arrow
    Jumping for Joy

    Just my two cents...

    I've always liked,  "I'm somebody, cause God don't make no junk".  LoL

    I just remembered one my dad used to say... "Don't write a check your ass can't cash"...or..."Don't let your mouth overload your ass".

    what a great idea, mamie!



    a stitch in time saves nine.

    if we wasnt working dad would say to us''this wont buy the baby a frock''
    mum used to say''never let the chances like the sunbeams pass you by you never miss the water till the well runs dry''then she would look straight at me and add ''laddie''
    my favorite was ''another day another another dollar''my 3 sons used to try and beat me to say it ,we used to have some laughs over that saying.
  • Me-Myself&I said on Feb 02, 2008....
    "it takes one to know one!"  i'm always using cliches. they say it so well!
    "birds of a feather flock together" oh...."don't count your chickens before they hatch"...."what goes around comes around".... "it's as long as it is wide"  *smile*
  • quietone said on Feb 02, 2008....
    "its water under the bridge" or "over the dam" can't win for losin'. a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.  do you think I just fell of the turnip truck?  don't cry over spilled milk.  Don't take any wooden nickels....

    In Italy we say "The Mother of All the Assholes is always pregnant"....

    I simply love it......priceless....lol......

    And you can change the recipient depending by the situation.....assholes, idiots, stupids, incompetents, backstabbers.....and so on and on.....

    What about this one? ..."It takes two to tango"....

  • skald said on Feb 02, 2008....
    Don't do to morrow what you can do to day. My mum used to parse it  Tomorrow says the lazy one. Curiosity killed the cat. There are many but I don't remember any. I read the comment now and there were many good there.

    I love "sayings" and cliche's that hold a modicum of truth to them for everyone.
     
    Some of my favorites that I've not seen on other comments yet are . . .
     
    "You're opperating under the assumption that what you WANT matters."
     
    "Flexibility is the key to mental health."
     
    "All means ALL, and that's all all can mean."
     
    "He's anybody's dog that will hunt with him" (Meaning, they are wishy-washy or indecisive; easlily lead astray.)
     
    "Patience is a virtue.  Learn it while you're young."
     
    "Pee, or get off the pot."
     
    "That's the pot calling the kettle black."

I got confuzzled when I stopped in to get gas where I used to work, and the new lady there, who I've talked to some, interupted me with a question.

"So, you're divorced, aren't you?"

"What? Where'd you hear that?"

I just got tickled because I answered a comment on my post "Rumors of My Divorce" and below that was quietone's post, "I Have Men In My Basement."

Usually, it's one of my own posts stuck down there, but it's really funny this time! Might ha...
