Old sayings explained

Blind leading the blind – need a new leader Absence makes the heart grow fonder – the less I see you the more I love you Money can’t buy you love – Money can buy plenty of fake love though What goes around comes around – how you treat others happens to you If he had any sense he would spend it – a low knowledge person Talking out both sides of your mouth – not taking sides Locks are for honest people – locks can easily be bypassed Denial is a river in Egypt – I know you are lying Everything that glitters is not gold – gold colored does not mean it’s gold I heard it through the grapevine – this may or may not be true Sunshine is the best disinfectant – just tell the truth The apple never falls far from the tree – you may be just like your parents Never judge a book by its cover – covers show only the best side Early bird gets the worm – getting up early will pay off Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater – keep what is good He’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing – not what he seems to be You have no skin in the game – you have nothing to lose Don’t rain on my parade – don’t give me bad news Last train to Clarksville – this is your last chance Don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out – time for you to go Heads will roll – there will be severe punishment We’re turning the corner – slowly getting better From the rootie to the tootie – from start to finish He’s a chip off the old block – just like Dad Has a chip on his shoulder – unfriendly You’re barking up the wrong tree – look elsewhere Everyone loves a David and Goliath story – except Goliath
