I LOVE these. Funnier the longer I think about them. Almost serious or useful then just completely out of left field.
Nobody’s human.
Bojack Hosreman had a couple of good ones. My favorite was: “Fool me once, shame on you, but teach a man to fool me, and I’ll be fooled for the rest of my life!”
I like to make the animal abuse idioms animal-friendly:
- There’s more than one way to pet a cat.
- Let’s not feed a dead horse.
- This way we can get two birds stoned at once.
This opens up a whole new bag of cats.
One I’ve actually heard is, you couldn’t swing a dead horse in here.
I’m here to kick ass and take names, and I’m all out of ass!
*clicks pen*
Names, please…
Light a man a fire and you warm him for a night. Set a man on fire and you warm him for the rest of his life!
A bird in the hand, and you’ll never work a day in your life.
I got in trouble at a corpo job for saying “We’ll jump off that bridge when we get there.”

“It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, and I’m wearing Milk-Bone underwear.”
“People who live in glass houses can count their chickens in the rain.”
“We’ll cross that water when it’s under the bridge.”
“We’ll cross that water when it’s under the bridge.”
That is by far the laziest take on any variation on that saying I’ve heard so far. 10/10, fuckin’ love it. Just a straight up “we’ll do nothing until the problem comes to us”.
Adding this one to the noggin file.
I actually thought I made up the “I’ll burn that bridge when I get to it.” Kind of sad to see others knew of it.
Another one I think I made up is…
“Bob’s your cousin.”
I don’t get the cousin part. “Bob’s your uncle” sure, but what’s the other half?
Why does this screenshot look like a highschool teacher photocopied it from a book?
Glad someone else is already commenting on it I was ready to just say “Do I look like I know what a jpeg is?” and leave.
Hank Trill anyone?

Well I certainly didn’t make it better. The place I found it on Instagram is a fucking video of a picture so I had to screenshot the paused video of a picture 😑
Something about that explanation has me rolling ahaha
All the good ones are like that
You opened this can of worms, now lie in it
I resent, and resemble, this
Untill the cow freezes over is funny till you realize this is an issue in some places.
