Our speech is riddled aphorisms, sayings, phrases, epigrams and the like. Although most still ring true (there's one now), I'm thinking it might be time to update, to make them a bit more au courant, and possibly more or less politically correct. I tend to be a bit geeky, so of course, my versions will reflect this. I'm also a bit goofy (say it together: "Really, Tom?"), but I will try my best to keep that side repressed in this serious matter. :-p
So, let's get the particles accelerating (ball rolling). First the original, then it's updated version:
- March comes in like a lion, and goes out like a lamb.
- March comes in like an iPhone and goes out like an iPad.
- A penny saved is a penny earned.
- $.01 deposited pre-tax into a 401k or IRA is subject to substantial penalties for early withdrawal.
- She's having a bad hair day.
- She's follicle-ly challenged. or sing it: follicle-ly, follicle-la, follicle-ly, follicle-ah ha ha ha ha ha.
- What I said was taken out of context.
- They copied and pasted what I said.
- Looks like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed.
- Looks like someone couldn't remember their sleep number.
- He went the whole nine yards.
- He went the whole 8.2296m.
- Looks like you have the best of both worlds.
- I see you have a Mac and a PC.
- You're between the Devil and the deep blue sea.
- I see you have a Mac and a PC.
