"You can't have your cake and eat it." Of course you loving can. You have a cake, then you loving eat it you stupid loving oval office. If anything, it should be "You can't eat your cake and still have it", or "You can't have your cake and eat it too", but those are complete poo poo as well. This is the worst loving phrase swear to god i am so angry now edit: Here are the earliest recorded usages and they all make a lot more sense than the modern version "Wolde you bothe eate your cake, and have your cake?" "A man cannot eat his cake and haue it stil." "She cannot eat her cake and have her cake." "And she cannot have her Cake and eat her Cake."

Unless the cake is featured in the major motion picture starring Bill Murray called Groundhog Day.

Sokrateez posted:gently caress i hate this one. if there's an exception to the rule, it's not really a loving rule is it?!?! The idea being that, if someone's best possible exception to a rule is a totally absurd, irrelevant out of nowhere thing, then it kind of implies that, in all reasonable scenarios, the rule holds. Like if you say "we live in a quiet beach community", and you scratch your head and eventually say "actually one time in 1972 a meteor landed in farmer bobs garden", it's kind of evidence that it is quiet because the best example you came up with was over forty years ago. Mostly I just use that one to piss off whoever I'm talking to, it's most effective as irony.

Roylicious posted:If you eat it then you can't also have it at the same time because you've eaten it. There's an implied "then" in the phrase. As in "you can't have your cake and [then] eat it." For example if someone said "do you want to go out and get some beers?", you wouldn't parse it as "do you want to go out, and at some unconnected, unspecified point in the future, also buy beer?" The only way you could save it in its current form is by emphasising the "and", "you can 't have your cake and eat it", but I've never heard anyone say it like that.

If a sign just says 'No Parking on Sundays' then there is your exception proving the implicit rule of 'parking is okay the other 6 days.' for fucks sake posted:There's an implied "then" in the phrase.

for fucks sake posted:"You can't have your cake and eat it." I once heard it as "You can't keep your cake and eat it too." Replacing "have" with "keep" makes it more sensible. Why would you want to keep your cake instead of eating it? I dunno, some people freeze part of their wedding cake, I guess?

lol but seriously I posted:this is actually incredibly useful for politely responding to someone when you can't be bothered to really engage because your just so loving tired all the time  I could sit here and talk "until I am blue in the face", but it wouldn't make "a lick of difference." You've "made up your mind" and I would just be "spittin' wind" to try and convince you otherwise. "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride".

BigwigML posted:I usually don't post in threads but this is the exception that proves the rule mm, from what i've read the meaning of "prove" in this case is an archaic way of saying "test" (like "proving ground"). so the exception tests the rule. much like the no parking on sundays example provided earlier, though a more accurate example would be no parking EXCEPT on sundays. but it might actually be the most useless idiom because no one actually knows what it means.

and to clear up the other big argument, the original idiom is: you can't have your cake and eat it too. meaning you can either have a cake or you can eat it, you can't do both though (and spare me your arguments about eating just a bit of it or something). like having a juicy bit of gossip on a friend or enemy; you can either gloat in only you knowing it or you can gloat in sharing it, but you can't do both.

What rear end in a top hat that gloats in having a bit of juicy gossip doesn't share it? People often loving breathe.

Yes but what's the point of having cake if you aren't eating it too unless you're holding it only to hand it off or to sell to somebody else in some kinda transaction? "You can't take a bite of cake before giving it to someone else," is more of a social more, anyway. How about: "You can't eat a cake and tell others you still have one (you lardass)!" No, fat-shaming is too risque for gaining much online traction these days. Instead, let's try: "Somebody's gotta cut the cake - if only so we can all stop looking at it."
