LOL! I don't think you would offend anyone in our generation. That may be a bit spicy but I think we all have probably all heard this a few times....

My personal favorite is Bloom where you are planted. I married a military man and we moved a lot. Even more tho, to me it really just means to make the best of whatever life hands you.
