Ah, idioms, how they often defy the rules of English.

Good to know, thank you. I'll likely not use it again. Maybe.

I agree! It's so bizarrely done. Like, how do you paint black where the eye whites go, and white where the eye blacks go? Antique Roadshow tends to value stuff fairly high if there's a solid story behind it. And this is a hilarious story.

Yeah, it's okay, I guess. But call me when you paint Christ like a BOSS!

Public service announcements aren't meant to be taken literally, Derbeste.

I hear that. I'm just thinking of how my body knows that food is too hot to eat, because my hands won't let met pick it up. (Not relevant if it's in a glass.) But if I do manage to take a bite of super-hot food, my mouth rebels instantly and I have to spit it out. (And then I'm punished because the skin on the roof…
