      It’s Francis Bacon, the author that said “Knowledge is power”. Come on now, this is easy enough to look up…it’s not rocket appliances.

          The expression you’re looking for is “we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it” Not that it matters, it’s all water under the fridge anyway, mostly a moo point.

            Come on, man, it’s “water under the bridge”. I want to contribute but it felt like we were drifting into malaphors there for a second, so I’m gonna play it by year and just see what comes next.

              Not to be rude, but it’s actually “play it by ear”. I’m trying to come up with something witty to say, but I’m dropping a blank.

                I don’t want to beat under the bush so I’m just going to say it. You should have said "drawing a blank ".

                  Hey man just want to correct you so you don’t embarrass yourself, it’s beat around the bush. Good thing I nipped that in the butt.

                    It’s nip it in bud - which is not the nipple of a human, but the bud of a rose. Sorry for being so pedophile.

                    I’m sorry to correct you, but it’s actually nipped in the bud. I’d hate for you to use that in public and get egg on your plate.

                You mean “drawing a blank.” It’s like you can lead a whore to water but you can’t make a drink.
