Many of us use them, they are dotted around, sometimes used in the wrong context.

"sayings", metaphors for a scenario often used or miss used by people.

I cannot help, when seeing/hearing/reading a "saying", (especially when someone is using it to sell me something) but think of turning it around to make it completely pointless/worthless.

So this is the thread for "sayings" that you often hear and how much you love, hate, or missunderstand them.

I'll start off with:

"When you frown you frown alone, when you smile the whole world smiles with you..." "..except in the changing room showers".

"Kick it in the head and bury it alive, then go play video games."

When the whole world seems like it's against you, it may be time to consider that there may be something wrong with you and not the world.

It's not the winning, it's the taking part that counts.... apart from when you host the Olympics, then it's all about the winning.
