Where do sayings come form and how many does it take to catch on?

Well duh. What else would it be?

Legally Drunk. What the heck does that mean?

Same as illegally sober.

Kind of read like Carlin's bit about being "more than happy".

A penny saved is a penny earned. Holy crap! we have got to chance this one. Maybe "A dollar saved is a dollar earned". Anything else...you're wasting your time.

 

[Winonesoon]

110% effort does not exist.

Nope not possible. Just "You better bring all you have". Now, that dose exist.

That's like putting lipstick on a pig. However, pigs can be cute so I prefer that's like putting a thong on a warthog. A warthog already has one of the ugliest butts in the animal kingdom, even worse than a Mandrill baboon because they get to have the rainbow on their butt.

I need that like I need another hole in my head. I prefer I need that like a snake needs snowshoes. I've actually seen people trying to work that one out in their head because it has a double hit. They don't come out when there's snow on the ground and they don't have feet.

I have another I like to use on people when the obvious needs to be called to attention and it contains alliteration and I am a fool for that. There's a very good reason why peg legged pirates pick parrots over woodpeckers.

"You're pissing me off!" Well, how are you in the process? I think you are already there.

Ugly as a mud fence.

Have your cake and eat it too.

"3 sheets to the winds" is a slang term for being drunk. I get the sailing reference but what does it have to do with being "****-faced", which is another expression.

When you you say the words **** faced. You have looked into the individuals eyes and they're so gone than can't even focus on you. Then you say ****!

The latter part of that refers to being face down in the toilet.
