One that comes to mind for me: “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not always true. Maybe even only half the time! Are there any phrases you tend to hear and shake your head at?

    When you forget what you were about to say:

    “Must not have been important”

    How in the ever-living fuck could anybody come to that conclusion?

      I’d only ever say it while referring to myself, and when I do it’s not of a consolation to myself or maybe as a way to tell the other person to not feel sorry about distracting me and making me forget. Is that the same way you interpret it?

      I meean, if it was really important, it’s very unlikely you would forget it. We use that saying a ton here

      Every single time that’s happened to me and I later remembered what it was, it wasn’t important.
