    What are some phrases you can think of that don't make sense.

    • Sweat like a pig (pigs don't sweat)
    • Colder than a witches tit
    • It's darkest just before the dawn
    • Low man on the totem pole
    • You can't have your cake and eat it too

    Makes sense to me. Once you've eaten your cake, you no longer have it in your possession; it's gone. Thus you can only "have" your cake, or you can eat your cake; you can't do both, because the two are mutually exclusive.

    But a lot of those do make sense.
    No pot to piss in - too poor to afford a chamberpot
    low man on totem pole - figures on a totem pole are necessarily arranged vertically, as are people in a heirarchy
    and if you think witches tits are warm, you've never been to bed with an actual witch

    on the other hand, you can eat your cake and have it too: when you eat it, you still have it, it's right there in your stomach.

    I always heard it as colder than a witches titty in a brass bra.

    This one is because a good audition, much like a broken leg, ends up with you in a cast.
