Try "you cant make a silk purse out of a Sow's ear" ,or "you cant polish a turd." Both of these will suffice to explain it to you.

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.

Isn't D.C. being run well by the half-black mayor?

I'm merely expressing myself over the general political atmosphere these days. I think it's very telling to see the reactions of Liberals (in general) who have been satirizing and lampooning (not to mention downright degrading & debasing) various & sundry Republicans from the president on down for 8 years. Now that the tables have been turned (politics ain't bean-bag, afterall) they are hooting and hollering over every little comment & joke made over their candidate. It's very entertaining to hear the wails of outrage.

Oh, and it's a little self-asorbed of you to declare the "importance of your life" vs. what anyone else chooses to do and not do and/or when to post or not post ("hang around") on Somd.com.

Oh really. Let's see - Imno responded to me, you responded to Imno's response to me..... self-absorbed? The importance of my life? Merely because I had work to do and a child I would rather be with when I got home? Don't we all do that? You think I was "dissing" somd and the people that hang here? You read that much into my post? And you think I'm over the top? Wow. You should change your name to ImaMensa.

Thanks for the laugh - you're a riot girl.

Closing out - have to get back to my "important" life. There are dishes that need to be done.

You go girl!

Hey MC Grammar! You should use the plural of the word "year." Do you know what the plural of "year" is, or do you need help with that?

That's odd - I thought YOU were sounding pretty huffy in your previous post. In fact, I was starting to worry about you and here you are back again still good for a laugh. You've made my morning girl - thanks!
