The proof is in the pudding!

[Tyre_Tread]

[RANT] Why, oh why, do people use language that they don't understand and makes no sense?

I received a marketing letter today and it ended by saying something along the lines of 'you should try our product, after all the proof is in the pudding!'

As the advert was for a massage chair I've asked them to send me the pudding so that I can remve the chair and see the proof.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating - you clowns!

Any other mis-quotes that really piss you off?

I could care less.

Really gets my goat

Actually that one is funny - the mental image of whatever the subject/person is floatimg around mid Pacific.

Another one that gets me is 'boils my piss' rather than boils my blood.

I thought it was PHers that coined that phrase?

I first heard it from the teenage son of a friend of mine about 7 years ago and thought he had just got mixed up. At the time he hadn't heard of PH.

People typing "Wallah!" instead of "Voila!" (Americans mostly guilty of this)

Indian sub continent maybe.

I thought "the proof is in the pudding" was an advert for a well laced Xmas plum pudding"
