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.
