the straw that broke the camels back? :01:
Straw that broke the camel's back.
Edit: Damn you, Barbie :fist:
Ooh, just thought of one: "Straw that broke the camel's back."
Nah, still a bit too hackneyed.

Finishing touch

/me drove his chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Chevy :dry:
Yeah yeah, the levee was fucking flooded too... go figure! :mellow:
I think I'm gonna try and use the idiom "at a low ebb". According to Dictionary.com it's a bit anachronistic, which makes it less hackneyed.
Does anyone have a good synonym for hackneyed, by the way?
i don't know what it means

Okay, scallops are shellfish, right?
I'm not rodding ... I'm thinking in order to have shellfish in a sandwich, there has to be some batter or breadcrumbs involved :unsure:
Scallops = potato-wedgey things? :huh:Quote:
