Old sayings

Here's one to set the ball rolling.

Seek and Ye shall find. (I use it all the time if a particular item is gone missing and someone's asking for it's whereabouts).

"Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile, smile, smile!"

Oh, that's a song lyric. How about this: "It takes one to know one."

It's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

Plenty more fish in the sea.

If you love something let it [hoick!]

What's all this cr*p?! Geez.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

When I was about four, my dad would tell me an old saying, and I would say, "It's a new saying to me!"

Here's one I made up at three: You never know, until afterwards.

LuthienTinuviel · 05-07-2002, 03:53 PM

(guess where that un came from)

Khadrane · 05-07-2002, 08:16 PM

You know the saying, it's raining cats and dogs? Well, in the 1500s or something like that, the roofs were all thatched, And all the mice, cats, dogs, bugs, and other small animals would live on the roof and keep warm in the hay. When it would rain hard, the hay would get slippery, and the animals like the cats and the dogs would fall off. That's where we get that saying. Isn't that cool? (I thought it was anyway.

)

Sicirus · 05-07-2002, 08:24 PM
