I realize that's what the saying is supposed to mean but it doesn't really say that. I detest speaking in platitudes when plain english will do fine.

- mratzloff 13y agoSo to clarify, you realize that's what the saying means and yet you posted to complain about its usage when the meaning is perfectly clear. OK. Using a widely-understood word or phrase to express an idea concisely is sort of the basis of language. Most people prefer a terse expression over "plain English" several times the length.
