I heard this in a movie...."I didn't know him from Adam".

Yeah. Are clams that much happier than oysters?

This one makes sense, but it's too cute not to share. Another coworker was full of little sayings, "handier than a pocket on a t-shirt", etc. But whenever we had to get into one of the little buggies, or were slowly prepping for a task, we were "off like a herd of turtles."

Being at sixes and sevens, never made sense to me.

I never understood that either. I know what it means, I just don't get what sixes and sevens are.

Colder than the knob on an outhouse door, colder than the heart of a Baltimore whore

"Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey" never made sense to me, until my son and I took a tour at a military museum in London. Turns out the "brass monkey" was a plate with holes cut in it. Cannon balls would be stacked on top of the plate. When it got cold enough, the metal in the plate would constrict at a faster rate than the metal in the cannon balls, and they would end up rolling out of the holes in the plate, with the whole stack collapsing and going everywhere.

Just last night my stepdaughter, who lives in Georgia, and I were moaning and groaning about "getting old". She said "well, it's better than a dirt nap". I thought it was just one of these sayings that don't really mean anything but eventually she had to explain it means being dead and buried.

One I thought of today....."clean as a whistle."

Full of saliva, bobbing up and down on a coach's sweaty chest... mmhh....sure.
