The other day my sister pointed out to me that I always say that something is "more than a notion". I thought everybody said that, but I guess not.

I'm struggling to define what 'more than a notion' means to me..
It's not a good thing, that's for sure..I guess it can be translated into mainstream English to mean something that is 'a bit too much', some action that is 'over the top', in other words, something that is a "trip".

In the same conversation my OLDER sister called my attention to my habit of saying "Yeah, that's a trip. That's a ROUND trip".. Again, I didn't think that these sayings were unique to me..

What does 'that's a trip' mean? It means that something is 'more than a notion' and 'that's a round trip' means it is really a bit too much.

{Actually, the referent to 'trip' might have originated as a referent to a person going to the 'funny farm' also known as the 'crazy house'*, but I don't know}.

* no disrespect intended.

All this started me to wondering if folks here have any sayings that you think [or others think] are distinctly you?

If so, what do are those sayings, and what do they mean [how & when do you use them?
