I've always wondered why the hell everyone (and I do mean everyone) says, "It was in the last place I looked."
Um, yeah. No shit.

...I thought 'as right as rain' meant that something was sure to happen, as rain is, eventually.
I have nothing to add, since Yahtzee beat me to the 'have your cake and eat it too' thing long ago.

A little bit more of a technical thing, but Coach's "This used to be a nice neighbourhood!" in the Opening for Left 4 Dead 2.
Makes reasonable amount of sense doesn't it? He lived in Savannah and hates seeing it be torn up by a bunch of zombies. The problem? The part where is says it is the third level of Swamp Fever. They're in the swamp. He hasn't been there, nor could it be considered nice by any of their standards.
Just bugs me.

Mad as a March Hare. March is prime mating season for rabbits and hares, they get a bit "frisky" at this time and engage in fighting and other displays of dominance.Hunter6475 said:
"Candy-ass"
I never got how this is supposed to be an insult. The way I break it down:
If "candy-ass" means "my ass is candy",
And candy is known for being sweet,
Then you are saying that my ass is sweet.
That's not an insult. That's a vaguely positive insinuation concerning your sexual preferences.

Actually, it's usually used in a way that's supposed to make people feel optimistic about a situation that's general on the depressing side. Saying "It could be worse" usually means you could have sharks gnawing on your ass instead of a bullet in your foot.BudZer said:
I do hope you realize that puppy love doesn't mean puppy sex. There is love without sex. I believe it stems from the fact that it's unfounded love of a child, something that can pass easily but it's incredibly strong at the time. You know, like a puppy's love.Stone Wera said:

Women used to tend the house, watch the children, cook the meals, clean the house, and do everything to keep it moving. The work was, quite literally, never done.KaiRai said:

Now, the one I never got was "A friend in need is a friend indeed." You could be moderately inclined to liking a homeless man, does that make him a fantastic friend because he's in need?

"Time to talk about the birds and the bees."
How are they suppose to do... it, and why are they doing it so much that it has become a saying?
It's ok, you can say sex on the Escapist.Not G. Ivingname said:
OT: Have your cake and eat it too always confused me.
Agreed. Along with "It's over when it's over", "I can't win for losing", and I'm sure many others.marter said:
