If every cloud has a silver lining....why aren't we mining them and given how much it rains in the UK why is silver valuable at all?
If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.....what if the two in the bush are multilingual talking parrots and the one in your hand is a pidgeon?
If he who laughs last, laughs longest.....why the fuck did it take him so long to get the joke?

Excellent points!
How about "Love at first sight"
Why only one type of love in the arena of sight? Is it because it cannot compete with lust which has many forms of self expression?
Even to the point of blindness?

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
What kind of bollocks is this? I had a car crash a few years ago, one knee still sore and I can no longer play sport properly. Stronger, my arse! |

"if I don’t see you through the week I’ll see you through the window.
Why? Are you going to be stalking me and staring at me whilst I’m in my house?"
Ooh - good one.
It's also contradictory.
How about 'if at first you don't succeed ..try again'.
Not much use if you're attempting to jump a wide gorge on a unicycle.

Another one my grandmother used to say all the time, “a nod is as good as a wink to a blind bat”  |

A Glaswegian one from my mother when I misbehaved as a kid;
“I’ll take my hand off of your face”
It was the putting the hand on at high speed I didn’t fancy |

“Sounds like a goose farting in the fog”
1. I’ve never heard a goose fart, so don’t know what that sounds like
2. How does fog change the sound of something? |

""Dead men don't tell tales"
Charles Dickens does!"
Try this next time your tied to a chair by gangsters and about to lose your life.
But if one says,
"You ain't Charles Dickens".
Then your Fuc*ed! |

One plus to this is that Charles Dickens would probably prove to be better company. |

A very commonly used one here in Ireland has always been:-
'Ar scáth a chéile a mhaireann na daoine' ( 'People live in eachother's shadow')....strangly I haven't heard anybody say this in weeks  |

Ok, if someone catches Corona virus and survives they have developed immunity to it. So in that context it works.  |

""I slept like a baby"
I'm not sure how screaming, crying and pooping is meant to constitute a sound sleep  "
Smooth as a babies bum.
Have these people never seen inside a nappy? |

"It’s black over Bill’s Mother’s.
Bill is an uncommon name now so there may not be a Bill in that direction.  "
I've been told this is a Brummie saying. Bill is William Shakespeare and Stratford-on-Avon is to the South East, from where bad rainstorms come. It's a weather warning |
