"Stand by your friend, right or wrong." So let me get this straight - if a buddy of mine decides to shoot an old lady or molest a child, I am supposed to be there for him? Fuck that! I am telling that murdering pederast to enjoy his time in the big house and don't ever call me again.
"Like a bat out of hell." A) It has never been proven that there is such a place as hell and; B) why in the hell would there be bats there? Also, what is the significance of a bat escaping from hell versus everything else burning in eternity. Why not say, "Like an F-14 out of hell." After all, they are much faster than bats.
"Winner, winner, chicken dinner." I can't stand this phrase for the simple fact that anyone who wins any sort of significant bet is not going to then take their recently won money and spend it on a lavish dinner consisting of KFC or Church's or go to some fancy steak house and order the chicken.
"Don't put all your eggs in one basket." I do it all the time at the grocery store and each time when I get home they are perfectly fine. Eggs come in a dozen anyway so if you break one, you still have 11 left. No biggie.
"There's no such thing as a sure thing." Umm, there are lots of them. For example, I knew that I was going to have soup today for lunch and that I would be driving to work in a truck. There are, in fact, many such things as sure things.
"To the moon." My mom always used to say this to me when I was annoying her and I know that it comes from the Honeymooners, but what does it mean? Personally, I think it would be pretty damn cool to go to the moon. "To the moon Matthew!" "Awesome!"
"That's just your opinion." Unless I am directly quoting someone or stating factual matter, then every damn word that comes out of my mouth is my opinion and there is no need to constantly remind me of that with moronic phrases such as this.
"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." I am by no means a dumb person, but I am willing to admit that it is quite possible to be fooled more than once and it not being my fault. If I get a letter in the mail that says free money and I open only to find out that there is no free money should I stop opening those letters? NO!
