Stupid sayings etc

[lord bunberry]

Some guy just said to me. “Where did that rain come from”
It came from the clouds in the sky. Old people always say “old age doesn’t come itself or don’t get old son” what does that even mean?

My favourite is “oh it’s that type of rain that gets you wet”

Whilst I understand your sentiments. There is different types of rain and some really get into you and some don't.

"Just about offside". Nah he was or wasn't.

This absolutely does my tits in. Same if a penalty just sneaks in - “he’s just about scored that” or something along those lines.

When someone drops down dead at a wedding/football match/the cinema etc

'It's how he would have wanted to go.'

Probably not.

The problems that come with getting old, eyesight, hearing, hair, mind, aches and pains.

I'm away for my tramadol once I remember where I put them.

If you keep that on you won't get the benefit of it when you go outside.

It’s factually correct

Wearing a coat indoors is likely to raise your average skin temperature, including the exposed parts. And while your coat will insulate your body from this temperature drop when you go outside, the air will feel colder, particularly on the exposed skin, than it would have done otherwise.

Both of these seem to be entirely reasonable and not stupid. Perhaps I am stupid for missing the point.

That's a reasonable question to start off a process of mentally or physically retracing your steps until you mentally or physically locate the missing object.

'Where did you see it last?' makes sense.

'It's always in the last place you look' on the other hand.......

But that's true as well? As soon as you find what you're looking for, you stop looking. So it always is in the last place you look. No?

Yes, I think that's what makes it stupid though. It's just stating the obvious. Of course something lost will be in the last place you look.

Not for letting this one in either!

Yourself in this case is clearly being used as shorthand for ‘your usual self’.

As in someone is a bit off colour or in a bit of an odd mood.

The phrase is surely trying to covey that you looked in a ton of places first.

So the lost item could be in 101 different places and you find it in place 101 after searching the previous 100 first.

So yeah sure in a literal sense it’s a dumb phrase as it states the obvious but not in the above sense.

‘Why do you always find something in the last location it could possibly have been in after looking in all the other potential locations’ doesn’t quite have the same ring to it
