"To make a long story short" … after already making it long. DH does that all the time!

"I'll be honest...."
Really? You weren't being honest before? |
I'm still trying to figure out what "a friend in need is a friend indeed" means.
|
"I am just being honest." When you are just being hurtful and rude. The truth doesn't have to hurt.

Why would we look some more after we found "it"? You made your bed, now lie in it. Why can't I get out of it, make it over, or go sleep somewhere else? This hurts me than it hurts you. Really? Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. In my experience, some words can hurt "forever". Any others that come to mind? What my Mom meant by that saying is: If you picked a not so good spouse, just live with him/her. Of course now days divorce usually happens. Not so much in the 1920s. |

Most of these sayings were made up many years ago. You are trying to make sense of them in this day and age.
Just like the saying " This is going to hurt me more than you." That was eons ago when parents spanked their kids for misbehaving. |
