237. Yes, but if an idiom can have different meanings, why would you...

continue to ascribe the one to me that's the most negative, which, as I've said all along, is NOT what I intended. (By DEFINITION, an "idiom" is a collective group of words having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words used.)

I know your a perfect grammarian bettyellen who would never misuse the English language - I commend you for that - but, couldn't you find it in your heart to cut someone just a LITTLE slack, who's obviously not as educated and perfect as you, and just take them at their word that they meant no disrespect to Maxine Waters? Is that even remotely possible for you?

Your steadfast refusal to acknowledge that as even a POSSIBILITY, while desperately clinging to this notion that, somehow, you can read people's minds and know what they intended - even after they've explained themselves countless times - is laughable.

At some point, it really IS okay to concede this small point... though I know your pride won't allow you to. So, if it makes you feel any better that you are not only grammatically superior, but also know exactly what is in my heart, let me feed your fragile ego by declaring, three times for emphasis, for all the world to hear: YOU WERE RIGHT!! YOU WERE RIGHT!! YOU WERE RIGHT!! YAYYYY!!!

Having used an idiom that can have two different, indeed opposite meanings, I must secretly hate Maxine Waters, as you surmised, even though I've declared my undying LOVE for her on numerous occasions in this and many other threads. My other declarative statements, in trying to clarify my grammatical "faux pas," were obviously an attempt to cover-up my true intentions, which you so skillfully uncovered through your amazing mind-reading skills.

btw, you got any lottery numbers for me?
