The one I don't get is "you can't have your cake and eat it too". I mean, what's the point in having cake if you can't bloody well eat it?

Actually - the original saying is 'you can't eat your cake and have it too'. Which makes more sense. Over time it got switched around.

If you eat your cake you won't have it any more. So you cannot eat your cake and still have it.

I hate this one too:

I have spread my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Oh now I get it! Duh. Well then I'd just get more cake because I love cake and once I start eating it I find it hard to stop

But that is the point of the metaphor - once you have had all there is you can have no more. In other words - no point wanting what you cannot have.

Low hanging fruit. Like my balls?

Plenty more fish in the sea. If I wanted fish, I'd care.

Can't have your cake and eat it. Well you wont get any fucking cake if you carry on with that attitude.

Bank notes are not made of paper though - well not from trees. They are made of cotton fibre and linen.

"' hit The ground running ' ...eh ? "

Hit the ground running is to do with parachuting, it's the way you should land to reduce the risk of damaging your legs. So if in a situation you hit the ground running it means your either lucky, successful or got away with it, similar to the saying "landed on your feet"

You are entitled to HOLD an opinion - but not necessarily entitled to voice it. Lots of people confuse that one.

And when people use the word "literally" incorrectly. "He literally fucked me so hard, my legs fell off". No he didn't. I mean, no I didn't.

Sorry, I even did it knowing that it would irritate the majority. It's something David Cameron would most probably say after screwing the country over, a pet hate of mine too
