Don't teach grandma how to suck eggs.

Is it because the grandmas of yesteryear had false teeth?

I've never quite grasped the meaning.

The milk is spilt, there is no use crying over it. Basically saying, what's done is done and you can't change it. Just grab the rag that is life and clean up the spilt milk that has upset you.

How about the guy who had his wooden leg burnt in a fire but was unable to claim on his insurance - they said that his claim didn't have a leg to stand on!

Probably not allowed to say 'black' or 'dark' these days - has to be something that nobody can take a fence to!
