Today's new Expression

So I've been cheese & knuckling it for the last few weeks, busy with various real life events that tend to get in the way of what's important.. my blogging. Many of you have been left adrift, some turning to drugs and prostitution and cannibalism to help cope. But others of you who aren't named Vince have been suffering in silence in your own ways as well.

Good news. I have come up with a new expression for you to use.

"Let's not put a tuxedo on a penguin."

Unlike the previous expression, this one has an implied meaning already and thus is not adaptable to any given situation like the last expression is. Still, it's a great expression. I used it this morning and it got positive feedback.

What's the implied meaning? If you haven't guessed, don't go throwing boots in the lake, I'll tell you.

"Let's not put a tuxedo on a penguin" is all about not wanting to be redundant. Because a penguin already looks like it's wearing a tuxedo, you see?

OK. So off you go with your new expression. Expression(s) actually, as I forgot to tell you about the "throwing boots in the lake" one. Which has already mutated here at work to "slinging sneakers."
