Idioms are for idiots

Yeah but I’d like to make some and find out for myself just to be sure.
“Looks can be deceiving”
… and so can personalities. Idiot.
Come to think of it, looks aren’t at all deceiving in comparison to personalities. If you’re ugly, you’re ugly. If you’re fat, you’re fat. There’s no hiding it. But if you’re an evil, treacherous, lying conniving bitch, there’s plenty of ways to hide it. It’s a magical thing I like to call the makeup of personality.
“If life give you lemons, make lemonade.”
Let’s face it. When life chucks you a bag full of lemons, the last thing you want to do is make lemonade. Lemon squeezing is tough work. Sometimes the lemon juice gets in your eyes. Forget lemons. I much prefer it when life pours me a straight glass of lemonade. Or Whiskey.
“A picture is worth a thousand words.”
First off, what picture are we talking about and what words are we talking about? The devil is in the details. Somehow I don’t think a picture of some old grandpa’s ass crack holds a candle to 1,000 words of William Freaking Shakespeare. Now if it’s Stephenie Meyer we’re talking about, I don’t think her writing holds a candle to a picture of some old grandpa’s ass crack. So you see, it would be difficult to find a picture that was worth exactly one thousand words. Unless of course you took a picture of a thousand words … wow, that’s metaphysical.
“There’s no I in team”
But there’s an an M and do you know what M stand for?? ME!
“Think outside the box”
The very fact that you are repeating that cliché means you have failed, utterly, in your own attempt to “think outside the box.” The very meaning of the idiom contradicts its usage…
“Don’t think outside the box. Don’t think inside the box. Think about the box.”
I made that one up working at the ol’ box factory. I told all my coworkers. I thought it was very clever. To this day I continue to use it as an amusing anecdote in conversations… No one has laughed at it yet but I remain hopeful.
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
Also, you never miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.
It is what it is.
Of course it is what it is! What else could it be?! It certainly isn’t what it isn’t!!
