Someone obviously thought they made sense...

Ever wonder who comes up with the odd things we say? Things that we think make sense, but do they really? Things like.....

• You're the apple of my eye. Ouch?
  
• Mind your own beeswax. Makes me think of BDSM, but let's not go there.
  
• Caught with his pants down. Does this really happen that often?
• He has a chip on his shoulder. Are we talking crisps or fries?
• Cute as a bug's ear. WTF?
• Don't try to teach your grandma to suck eggs. Okaaay, I'll remember that.
• Fate worse than death. Like what?
• Wouldn't you like to be a fly on the wall? Um...no.
• Go to hell in a handbasket. Sounds kinda painful.
• I'll have his head on a platter. Anyone seen the movie, 'The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover'? Eeeew.
  
• Make no bones about it. Huh?
• Pick up your ears. As said to Van Gogh.
• Shit for brains. Now there's an interesting visual!
• By the skin of his teeth. Someone needs to floss!
• Wouldn't know him from a bar of soap. Showering could be so much more interesting!
  

The crazy thing is, all these sayings used to have practical and logical meanings.
