It just occurred to me today where we get all of our idioms, let alone words. And what do we call those who never understand the idioms? It answers itself. Arguing with idiom deniers. You know what I mean? This one is a little harsh. This latin phrase caught my eye. Guess I don't know my latin idioms. (latin x?) LOL "For it must surely be true that a one-legged man will have per ipsum important insights into General Kutuzov’s strategy at the battle of Borodino, and a lesbian will have earth-shaking things to say about Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture,” and we should look for Maori tribesmen to scan the broad vistas of meaning in War and Peace, because no fair-skinned son of the steppes can possibly do it."
