Share a common quote or saying that makes no sense. Please explain why you think so.
For example, "you're only as young as you feel."

The saying is, at best, ambiguous - at worst, dangerously misleading.

How one feels is not merely a matter of optimism or magical thinking;
it's far more likely to be an objective indicator of good health.

Research shows that people's chronological age is often very different to their real physical age.
A fit sixty-year-old can have the bone density, heart-rate and energy of a forty-year-old,
while an obese forty-year-old can have diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease.

Flat out like a lizard drinking

A few roos loose in the top paddock
@nedkelly Ha ha! How typically Aussie! :D

You forgot to offer your reasons why they make no sense.

"A few roos loose in the top paddock" is the same as "bats in the belfry" or "bees in the bonnet". It means thoughts running random and crazy in the head.

'Flat out like a lizard drinking" means drunk.
For me, it conjures the image of someone flat out on a couch, slurring his speech and burping his beer.
