He/She has been around the block a few times....

"IF It Ain't Broke, Don't Fix It"..............

There's More To The Story Than Meets The Eye".........

A hidden significance, greater than is first apparent. There may be some hidden fact that has yet to be revealed!

The Rest of the Story....

Radio personality Paul Harvey used to have an daily two-part radio show....remember when he'd start his show in the morning with an interesting little heard of or even a more well known story? Then come back in the late afternoon to finish his radio show by giving radio listeners The rest of the story???

Paul Harvey coined this term for his radio show and when it's used in everyday vernacular, the iconicity of his radio personality is immediately associated with this phrase (indexicality).

Never really understood this one but I think it comes from Middle Ages when an old unmarried woman crossing your path was bad luck and great "burnable" material.
