Uhh... no? I knew that. My point was that _you_ were wrongly criticizing the reporter for not knowing the “original” meaning of a phrase. _You_ were wrong about your extended version being original and you’re also wrong about it being common. I was trying to be nice and let you know you were wrong by using the phrase “I wonder...” I wasn’t actually “wondering” lol.
Based on your recent comment, it seems like you were offended or maybe you just don’t understand how these things work at all.
