do you ever wonder why we started saying certain things that seem to make little sense?

I thought of two today


cutting off ones nose to spite their face (has anyone ever actually been that mad at their face?)

and


they were a miserable failure (has anyone ever been a joyful failure?)




are there any others that have always made you go what

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

I am not even sure if anyone in my family has thrown out bath water. That is what drains are for.

Yes, but you still don't throw it out, you usually just dump it down the sink or tub.

I get where the saying comes from, but it just sounds dumb this day and time.
