What’s a Common Thing People Say . . . That Makes No Sense?

A regular criticism of A.I. and ChatGPT is that it occasionally spews NONSENSE.  But in fairness, so do “smart” humans.

Someone on social media asked, “What’s a common thing people say . . . that makes ZERO sense?”

 

And here are some of the best responses:

1.  “I’m sweating like a pig.”  Pigs don’t really sweat.

 

2.  “I’m healthy as a horse.”  If you have a horse, you know this doesn’t jibe.

 

3.  “I slept like a baby.”  Babies are infamously awful sleepers.

 

4.  “Unthaw” or “Dethaw”

 

5.  “6:00 A.M. in the morning.”

 

6.  Saying someone “did a 360” when they change.  It would be a “180,” if anything.

 

7.  People referring to a lion being the “king of the jungle” without realizing lions don’t live in jungles.

 

8.  “Irregardless”

 

9.  “For all intensive purposes.”  (It’s “for all intents and purposes.”)

 

10.  “Money can’t buy happiness.”

 

11.  “Happy as a clam.”

 

12.  People alternately advise “Don’t sweat the small stuff” . . . and “It’s the little things that count.”

 

13.  This is another flip-flop of convenience:  “The early bird catches the worm.”  But, also there’s this:  “The second mouse gets the cheese.”

 

14.  “Everything happens for a reason.”

 

15.  “Skibidi.”
