1( 'All corners of the globe'
Definition of corner: The meeting place of converging sides or edges, forming an angular projection.

2( 'Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you'
What a ridiculous expression this is; I'm sure a little finger broken by a stick would cause less pain then someone's wife after 10 years saying: 'I never loved you; I married you for the money, and now I'm running off with your sister to start a lesbian relationship'.

"It's always in the last place you look."

Of course it is, you wouldn't carry on looking for something after you've found it would you?

[tomwhite]

"I am rubber and you are glue. Whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you!!"

I don't know how this has remained as a well known expression. I've never heard anyone say it, and there's a good reason for that.

bart and cru sing it whilst marching it on that simpsons episode 'bart the general'. that is all.

"what doesn't kill u, makes u stronger" that isn't nessecerily the case - in fact in pracically all major injuries, u'll end up a lot weaker by the end of it! i know iknow, its referring to the mental not physical side.... but that isn't really true either....

Actually, in the episode of friends where Ross gets hit in the face by the ice hockey puck (it's way back in series one) a kid nicks his puck in the hospital waiting room, and Ross gets as far as saying "I'm rubber you're glue..." before not bothering to finish the sentence.

and what the * does "not for the hairs on my chinny chin chin" mean?

[matt5cott]

There are 10 types of people in this world, those who understand binary, and those who dont.

[Funky Drummer]

What about "only boring people get bored." I live in a pretty damn boring place and know for a fact that f there was stuff to do then I would do it.

[Gigglyboots]

Same here, your boring if where you are is boring not because your boring. Everyone is bored sometimes, so we have all been boring. That phrase is just plain confusing.

"the grass is always greener on the other side"

Grass is just grass!?!

[kendra k]

are you talking about herb?

[TJD]

is greener even a word?
'redder' doesnt sound right, neither does 'oranger', let alone 'aquamariner'

[Morals]

I would argue it's 'more green'

[Gordon_the_Cromag]

whats another word for a thesaurus?

[Gigglyboots]

Now thats confusing.

[Crafty_Mongoose]

I am rubber, you are glue can also be traced by to "The Secret of Monkey Island" as one of Guybrushes insults.


"The grass is always greener on the other side"

Bollocks, my neighbour has just had his lawn concreted over

[Morals]

Apparently the reason the grass looks greener (more green) on the other side is to do with the way light hits the blades of grass...

[Gigglyboots]

Yes, but its just "the grass has more light gleaming off its blades on the other side" instead. Not really greener/more green grass.

[TJD]

Its the same when your lawn mower has a roller on the back, you get a lined pattern, and depending on where you stand one stripe will appear lighter than the other.

[Morals]

Thank you. I do have a grasp of basic physics...

[Gigglyboots]

Unlike me...

[TJD]

I HATE physics. my physics teacher is the dullest person ever.

[Morals]

My physics teacher (well, one of them) was great. He'd start writing on the board and as we wound him up throughout the lesson he'd start to write and talk faster and faster... He had a breakdown that year.

[Gigglyboots]

I HATE physics

Me too! (as David already knows...)

No wonder about Morals Physics teacher.

[TJD]

we've all had them, boring teachers, with whom your only chance of getting an 'A' is to laugh at all they're crappy science related jokes.
