Curiosity Killed The Cat
Used as an veiled warning about the unnecessary investigation and dangers of being too curious. HOWEVER, the rejoinder expressed is subtly stated as "But satisfaction brought the cat back...". Interestingly, cats are thought to have at least 9 lives. <<<<<<<~~ Schröedinger's is another fine example of the many aptitudes of the kitty cat. Side notes: I would say this proverb is false. But it is nice to know we have a strong counter-culture of opinion in support of cats.

.... Kismet .....
Unlike Karma, Kismet is an expression borrowed from the Turks, probably during the 1800s, but it's origin is of middle-eastern, used by Urdu, Hindi, and Persian people's of Aramaic descent. It's meaning implies.... fate, divine by nature.

"Even A Broken Clock Is Right Twice A Day"..............
Success obtained through dumb luck. Even people who are usually wrong can be right sometimes, even if just by accident. From the idea that the stationary hands of a broken clock will still display the correct time at two points during the 24-hour cycle. Sidebar: This phrase goes back to at least the early 18th century. It was used in a magazine called The Spectator, by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele, from the year 1711: |

"Useless as the toilet paper I flushed three days ago," (courtesy of BFP member ShyStoneFemme in Anya's Presidential forum thread).
http://www.butchfemmeplanet.com/foru...postcount=6344 I'm guessing this is an rarely heard colloquial phrase, but I'm thinking its meaning refers to sh*tty behaviors committed by very disturbed individuals. I nominate this phrase to be added to the vast collection of idiomatic phrases, used world wide, but most likely heard only in America. Thanks ShyStoneFemme

"Better A Crust Of Bread In Peace, Than A Feast In A House Of Strife." ....
This too was previously posted by a member in one of the threads, but I remember my father (who fell away from the Catholic Church) using it more than once after declining invitations from my grandparents around the holidays. I guess this is more of a proverb than an idiom but I find it true! |
