Here are some examples. Have fun.
Did you know that the term "Hip" originated in Sanfran in the 40's?
It was used by "beatnicks" to password opium useage. When one smokes Opium, you are placed on your side... on your "hip" so that when you go unconscious or freaky... as the saying goes, you don't choke to death.
So when two people asked each other if they were "hip" it was a way of knowing if they smoked opium.
In the early sixties, opium was replaced by other drugs, but if you were "hip", you used drugs. The term "hippy" came from the extension of being "hip".
Then uppers like meth were added to the palate of drugs. They didn't make you down, they made you hop. So the term "hip-hop" was added to indicate that you used uppers.

worthless saying:
For poker players involved in a really stupid hand where nobody folds:
"This is like a train wreck at a donut factory. Don't know whether to search for survivors or just enjoy the wreckage."
For the poker player who constantly gripes about losing:
"Hey. They call this gamblin', not skillin'"

Apparently, though it may just be an unconfirmed furphy, or tendencious urban myth, a fact is not just an obvious and simple truth as we are often led to beleive , but in fact, a fact indeed is actually a captured crab fart, usualled harvested by bell-diving deep sea fishermen, who keep the fart trapped in a hermatically sealed jar, which after a transfer through a delicate process involving extreme hand eye co-ordination, leads to the fart bubble being bouyantly encased into the fluid of a sprit level measure.
So the next time you would right yourself of spurious logic, I would urge you to hold a spirit level aloft against a veritcal object, observe the level pointing bubble, and consider the full import of the meaning of an incontrovertible fact, ie; an indication of the direction normal to the horizontal, masquerading as a probable crab fart.
I love how slang spreads virally, until almost everyone using it has no idea of the context. The other day, my friend complained that his cigarette was 'canoeing'. He's from Croydon and has, in all likelihood, never seen a canoe in his life. It's doubtful that he's heard of the ancient process of canoe manufacture involving fire, from which the expression is presumably derived.

We've all heard that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
So what?
That which does kill you makes you more relaxed and care-free.
And kinder.
And more gentle.
And more accepting.
And funnier.
And more trustworthy.
And better looking.
Far less anxious.
More religious.
So far i'm not seeing any downside here.

My fav is when you lose something, for example your keys, someone will always say, "it'll be in the last place you look".
Well, of course it will! Duh! You're not going to keep looking, are you??? Well?
Likewise, with the saying "I'm not getting any younger".
Who is?? Show me someone who is getting younger and I'll buy you beer for the rest of your natural life. Numpties.
