It basically means there's no way you can make something worthwhile out of it.
“Even with all the mayonnaise in the world, you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken sheit…”
I hope this has helped with your vocabulary and understanding of quaint colloquiliasims. |
Actually those I've heard of - except for the chicken salad one. So thanks once again for "trying to educate" me.
Cant is correctly written as can't. Colloquiliasims is correctly spelled colloquialisms.
Hope this helps you on your quest to learn English.
