Phrases and their meanings

Sometimes phrases may be misunderstood or even have multiple meanings. For example what is one of the meanings of the phrase “worst of our lifetime”?

Let’s ask AI.

“Yes, "worst of our lifetime" can indeed mean up until the present day. When someone uses this phrase, they are typically referring to:

Events or situations experienced up to the moment of speaking. This means that they are considering all the events they have lived through so far and judging the one they're discussing as the most severe or impactful among those.”

Any other common phrases that others may not quite understand? Your thoughts if any?

What does the phrase "the border is secure" mean to the average American?

Is it the same thing Kamala (our Border Czar) and Sleepy Joe meant when they kept repeating it over the past 4 years?

I submit this phrase:

"Hakuna Your Tatas"
It means "no worries, and calm your tits"

Sadly, folks seem to think it's an attack despite it being a gesture of peace.

As for "worst of our lifetime" it's used by folks who who mean "worst of my lifetime" and often meant as "worst of all time"

It's also recieved poorly sometimes by those who recognize they don't share common perspectives, life experience or chronology with you.
... The meaning of "blue" - and it's NOT the colour.

... "Blue" can either mean sadness or anger. ... It just surely
depends on who is using the phrasing.

Me exclamation of "Blue as a Paris monkey!" can best be understood
(and appreciated) when you understand WHY the monkey is blue.

... You can research it by checking "Hartlepool" towne and also
the Hartlepool football club - and their name. ...

... Then you'll understand. ...

From the lips of Slick Willy, the Perjuring Serial Sexual Predator:

"I did NOT have SEX with THAT woman..."

Women half his age were actually attracted to him and gave their consent. Big difference between that and what happens in MAGA world.

Another classic from Slick Willy: "I experimented with [redacted] a time or two...but I didn't inhale"

Actually, if you look up the phrase "sexual predator" in a dictionary, you will find Slick Willy's picture. It's the first of multiple meanings of that phrase.

This is true, and in my version he is actually playing the sax in the picture.
