Have you ever given any thought to some of the "sayings" that we use? I'm guessing that you're trying to figure out what "sayings" I'm talking about. Well, let's take a quick peek, shall we?
"For Pete's Sake!" This is one is usually uttered when you've just had enough. Now my question, dear readers - who the heck is PETE? Note: this exclamation has also been uttered as " For the love of Pete!"
"It is what it is." One of my personal favorites yet what does it mean? I usually say it as a response when someone has a litany of things going on and I can't see a way to change any of them.
"Six of one, half a dozen of the other." A clever, albeit wordy, way to say something's the same.
"Same difference." I really dislike this one. I guess it's supposed to be synonymous with "six of one, half dozen of the other." But it's oxymoronic take just grates on my nerves.
I'm sure there's plenty to add to the list. As I think of them, I will add them. If you have any, send me an email and I will post those, too.
