As in, “She wouldn’t hurt a fly. She’s as sweet as canned beans.” I don’t understand. I think some beans are sweet, like bbq baked beans. But I feel like most aren’t, they’re either savory or just vegetabley.

Me neither, honestly.

DO people say this? I mean. I’ve never heard it. It’s about as odd of an expression as “weird as a government stapler”.

Which as you know is a super popular expression that I totally didn’t make up just now as I typed it…

zakobjoa@lemmy.world on 03 Oct 00:45 next collapse

I think that might be it.

Bone apple tea.
