michael_w [Edit] [Delete] 5 replies 16:07, 28 April '09

do you like them?

i think i quite like them.....there are some that get used to the point of breaking that are quite shit....and it's only when you dust off the cliche and think about them that they reveal their beauty...

so post your faveourite idiom

i quite like the idea of gilding a lilly and whistling past a graveyard

  • Maybe not idioms as such

    But I'm a firm believer (maybe) in aphorisms, which are idiomatic I guess. There's something I like/find quite honest about having little pockets of control and order.

    • i'm with you there brother

      something comforting about having a little two sentence blurt to sum up all the complexities of life and guide you through......sure that can be countered, but comfroting nonetheless

      • yep for sure

        its nice when the little sentence continually finds itself. and when it doesn't, you make up new ones to compensate for the lack in the old one :)
