Idiotic Idioms #2

"In my heart of hearts...."

Why? I know what it's supposed to mean, but really do we need to say it twice? I think it'd be safe to say that you could just say "In my heart..." and it would make perfect sense. No "of hearts" needed. 

Sorry, I think I heard someone say that on The Bachelor last night. Yeah, I said it. I watch that crap. And love it :) And I think it was the ever so sweet and beautiful Emily, who I want to win, and since I don't think I or anyone could ever hate or be bothered by that girl, I'll let it slide this time.

But if it had come from anybody else, "In my heart" [see!] I'd be so very annoyed.

Just a quick rant. That's all for now!

Hope everyone had a love-filled Valentine's day yesterday!!

Idiotic Idioms #1

There are just some sayings that I can not stand. Like, they make no sense to me. Well, they make sense. I know what they are supposed to mean. But I don't know how anybody came up with that saying, or how it could literally make any sense. I hear so many that just agitate me. I hate when people say them! A few weeks ago, Peej and I were going off about tons of sayings that annoyed the crap outta us. Now, I can't remember them!  But last night we did come up with one that drives us crazy....

"Going to hell in a handbasket."

If I ever go to hell, I don't think it will be in a handbasket. Who came up with that?!? I mean, what made someone pick 'handbasket'? How come it isn't "Going to hell in a car" or "Going to hell in a laundry basket".... why a handbasket? And could a person really fit in a handbasket? Does that saying only apply to little people who can possibly fit in an actual handbasket? And it usually means something is going downhill very quickly.... does the use of a handbasket actually make you move faster towards hell? 

I know I can be such a smart ass sometimes  : )

Now I know why they call them IDIOMS.... maybe because many of them are so IDIOTIC? Just sayin.

Sorry, that's all my rantin and ravin for now. Until the next edition of Idiotic Idioms, that is .....
