Thread Name: BS: Phrases that don't travel
Subject: RE: BS: Phrases that don't travel
confession: I HATE phrases like "Bob's your uncle" which have been crammed into the language and which have little or no meaning out of context.

I like to be able to SEE the relevance of the phrase without having to absorb it thru the pores.

pedant? sure.....
