I was reading a new thread on SH about releasing a new snuff to be in stock soon, I have heard the phrase “people are people” But thought to myself " not all snuff is good snuff" which translates to; " to each his own " or “different strokes for different folks” What cliches do you use a lot or like? Or ones we haven’t heard of throughout the world, which is used in your country? (Try and keep it clean Ladies and Gentlemen) ( some may be hard to translate into English or lose its meaning… I know this is the case with German phrases) What cliches do you use a lot or like? Or ones we haven’t heard of used in your country?
Different strokes for different folks is one of my favorites.
‘In the land of the blind the one-eyed man is king’…That’s probably one of my fave’s at the moment ~O)
(something is) “as black as granny’s knitting bag” “he looked at me like my head buttons up the back” “as much use as a one legged man in an arse kicking contest”
“Sometimes even a blind squirrel gets a nut” “Use it or lose it” reality test: “How important is it?” “Whatever” while rolling your eyes
Schadenfreude!
“Insanity is to repeat the same thing over and over yet expect different results” “Nothing in biology makes any sense, except in the light of evolution” “Once you’ve eliminated the impossible whatever remains however improbable must be the truth”

Here’s a saying I made up: There’s two sides to every cushion but my ass can’t tell them apart.
Everything has an end, but the sausage has two.

“YOLO”…You only live once… I got one from a friend yesterday, and I love it: “When you spell out the real meaning of ‘community’, there are no big i’s or little u’s”. I’ll be using this alot…great way to say to keep Egos in check.
but there is a little u. its between the m and the n

Waiting for someone to say that! =)) @firestarter0 gets the “quick on the draw” kudos for today!
I don’t use cliches. I avoid them like the plague. I’ll tell you what my least favourite phrase is - it’s when you signed in just two minutes ago, making sure the “keep me signed in” option is ticked, and you try to post a reply but get “you don’t have permisson to do that” because for some reason you’ve been booted out again! Guess why I’m saying that… >:P
It is what it is
“I’m just going out - I may be some time”. Came to mind because I’ve had to sign in six more times since my last post.
