" Hello---ooooo!"

In this form "hello" a greeting becomes an insult implying that you're too dumb to understand what's been said.

For the most part, I think this saying is true. But I've seen some awesome sunrise's in startling shades of pinks or reds, yet the day remains exceptionally beautiful. I think what the saying infers is that we remain aware of our surroundings. I think an added caveat would be that anything is possible, so enjoy life, be cognizant of our present state of mind, and cherish our delights.

New fun & fluff game:

A) List an colloquial saying; and then,
B) state whether you think it's true or false and then state why you think it's true or false.
C) Have fun, enjoy! : )
This is my favorite colloquial saying, the Sailor's Proverb:

Red sky in morning, Sailor take warning.
Red sky at night, Sailor's delight. :bunchflowers:
