I was thinking about phrases that were well known but don't really make sense and/or just aren't right earlier today.

For example, sweat like a pig makes absolutely no sense as pigs do not sweat. Also, someone said my boss eats like a bird, meaning that she picks at her food and/or doesn't eat a lot, but birds typically eat 2-3 times their body weight daily so that's not right. *I* eat like a bird.
