"You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks"...... It's nearly impossible to teach some new skills or behaviors to someone who is set in their ways. If you say you can't teach an old dog new tricks, you mean that it is often difficult to get people to try new ways of doing things, especially if they have been doing something in a particular way for a long time. |

"Now You're Cooking With Gas"......
Doing something exactly right. To have success in a particular activity. Sidebar: In the 1930's, the catch phrase Now you're cooking with gas, meaning “you're on the right track,” was heard on popular radio shows at the behest of the natural gas industry, as part of a quiet marketing push for gas-powered stoves. |
