I admit, I'm not great with sayings. But, once they are explained then I'm pretty good with understanding it from then on.
For example, several months ago a friend said, "It's like the pot calling the kettle black." I had never heard that before. Upon explanation, it made sense.
BUT...
That doesn't mean I don't get a hard time about it.
There is a new commercial that always runs on Hulu about the "bird in your hand is better than two hidden in the bush." Well, it is something like that.
I asked my friend to explain it to me. This was her response:
It's a saying. A saying is something that represents something...
I had to explain to her that I know what a saying is. Just not the meaning of this particular saying.
And I still don't quite understand it...
