You Know That Saying ... (T/F?)

[homoe]

"Delicate Genius"...........

A highly touted professional (such as a doctor or lawyer) who would not think of talking business outside of business hours. A professional who should never be asked questions outside of his/her offices confines.

[Kätzchen]

.....Tabula Rasa.....

Greek translation of this phrase generally means to have a clean slate....the idea that any something exists first in an unmarked, unblemished or without previous impression. It can also mean, for some, the chance to begin anew or start anew.

(I like this phrase a lot and feel it's very useful, positive, true).

I believe so, homoe. Lots of people use this particular expression in that way. But if you look up the Greek translation, it's thought to mean something in its unmarked state of consciousness.... Like a newborn human being, for example.

I may of posted this before but it bears repeating......

"Hop Over A Quarter To Pick Up A Penny'...........


Passing on something only to get something else of lesser value!

The phrase "it's not you, it's me" is a cliche used when someone breaks up with another person.
