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.

a dress makes no sense unless it inspires someone to take it off of you
@Ingwe That makes no sense. 😳
@Ingwe I hadn't heard that as a saying. I reckon it could only make sense for someone who's hunting for casual sex.

In general, the primary use of a dress is to satisfy the dress code for a specific occasion, for instance, for the workplace or a social gathering.

@Ingwe Ah - now it makes more sense!
It's not a common saying at all but a quote from a French writer who was notorious for her romantic themes, disillusioned bourgeois characters and amoral tone.
