Agreed - super annoying isn't it ?
On here, the many prior references to Hughton 'earning his salt'. It's CORN.........should have been deliveries of CORN at half time, not salt. This is where it all went wrong. You EARN CORN, you're WORTH SALT (or not)

On the basis of keeping sayings in their original context can we please stop the business bullshxt of saying " by the close of play ". It's a cricket expression thanks very much!
Also not keen on the saying " it is what it is ". American nonsense that seems to have caught on here.

I have no idea what is so good about the knees on a bee or the scrotum of a dog?
As in "bee's knees" and "dog's bo11ocks"

Guilty I’m afraid, great expression for being accepting of something that you can’t change but don’t like. I say that to my wife when she starts banging on about things we can’t change.

This saying is a crucial clue in the excellent tv mini series Manhunt: The Unabomber starring Paul Bettany. Highly recommended.

Have you had your ears lowered?
No, I've had an effing hair cut. I've not been for major surgery to move the position of my ears on my head....

The saying IS "cheap at twice the price". The "cheap at half the price" version is a kind of jokey ironic twist on it, meaning that its not cheap at all.
In fact I quote:
There has been a saying in American English: "Cheap at twice the price." This has traditionally been used to indicate that something is a great bargain. "Cheap at half the price" is a humorous reversal of this statement. It is used to express contempt for the quality or price of an item, or both.

Personal favourites:
(1) You don't have a dog and bark yourself.
(2) Its the tail wagging the dog.
(3) If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
