Sayings and Uses!

You know when you think of it most sayings don't make sense. At least not for what they are referencing. Most made since when first used but as it changed and got used for more things lost it's sensibility. The most recent I noticed was "When the cards are down". It makes sense when talking about a card game where you may thing you've won until another player shows his hand is larger or closer to the selected number or whatever. However just today I heard where it hardly means anything. I think I will end up writing about more of these sayings later
