She was so delightful

I SO miss taking public transportation.....I always enjoyed running into unique individuals and the things I might learn from them.

.....You're The Apple Of My Eye .....

This turn of phrase means that someone is cherished beyond all others. It also is an metaphor referencing the sensitive part of the eye, the pupil, the most sensitive part of one's body.

....Bench Press A Buick...

German philosopher Friedrich Nietzche coined the phrase "What does not kill me makes me stronger.

BUT being strong (er) is relative: Some people are strong because they exercise their muscles, whole others are strong because they exercise their 'faith' on either spiritual or personal practical ways.

Therefore: IF a person survives a potential life threatening situation, people generally believe the experience leaves them stronger.

Hence, saying that one can Bench press a Buick is often synonymous to overcoming traumatic life's issues by one's own ability to be 'strong'.

"Break A Leg"................

Do your best and good luck. A lot of actors and actresses tell each other to "break a leg" as they are about to go on stage to perform it is deemed to be good luck.

Folklore is that wishing someone 'good luck' before they go on stage actually brings back luck!
