"No news is good news".........



When you do not receive any news about something or somebody it probably means that everything is going well

there is more than one way to skin a cat


There is more than one way to do something!


Sidebar: People who don't believe this and are so rigid in arguing, like the "correct" way to fold towels, are a pet peeve of mine!

homoe, as long as they have been properly (folded) bleached and softened...amazing!

but I digress...this has probably been said a million times but it can't be repeated too often-

if it feels or looks to0 good to be true------------->beware

I agree wholeheartedly homoe....

Thanks Kittygrrl for your post and the idiom of "if it looks too good to be true, beware."

There's a lot to be said about both your idiom and the idiom homoe posted.... both idioms present a particular truth, dependent on one's own experience with either idiom.

To be like.....
 

.....A Fly On The Wall

meaning: That you want to secretly observe and hear something without anyone noticing you're there watching and hearing all that is said and done.

Mostly true, I would say.

.....The Litmus Test.....

An not so.common idiom which illustrates an proverbial scientific notion that testing particular variables is one way to discover the effectiveness of any one thing.

Sometimes true, other times not so true.

..... Fine Toothed Comb .....

Meaning: to examine something so carefully so that nothing is missed.

Mostly true, but results could be misleading.

.....Make sure all your ducks are in a row .....

Meaning: to organize effectively for maximum results.

Mostly true, I would say.

..... Worked Like A Charm.....

Meaning: something works well and produces the desired effect (s).

Mostly true.

..... Cuts like a knife .....

While this literary device is not so much an idiom or even a double entendre, it's a simile that gives meaning to hurtful words or actions or even something as simple as very cold wind that cuts right through to the core of your body or heart.

Fairly true, I would say.

..... Dream Come True .....

When this skin of thought is expressed, one is saying that some thing they've always dreamt about has come true or that something you have wanted very much has finally come to pass, thus your "dream has come true."

(True)

...... Heart of Glass .....

Besides being a 'killer' disco song by Blondie, this turn of thought generally means that one is affected easily by emotion.

(True)

And IYHO what is the "proper":giggle: way to fold a towel, I'm all ears.......

But, wait....don't YOU have some of those same 'correct way to do something' proclivities? I would have swore that I saw something along those lines in the 'Give me one' thread.

Isn't that a little like the pot calling the kettle black?

Did you see what I did there? Didja? Didja?

HA HA let me get back to you on this.........:cracked:

.....Famous Last Words .....

Meaning: an ironic comment on (or reply to) an overconfident assertion that may be proved wrong by a series of events.

=^..^=

.... More than an handful ....

But that's why you've got TWO hands.... :eyebat:

(She'll keep you busy)


Undeniably True.

"Getting Down To Brass Tacks"...........



Getting down to the nitty gritty, to begin to talk about important things; to get down to business.

"Like Fish, Company Starts To Stink After Three Days"..

Depends on the company and if they are staying with me or at a hotel!

"Engage Brain before Gob"............

Think before speaking. Educate yourself before you speak on a subject or matter.
