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.

Without further ado lol what does that even mean
@swandfriends
It means without any fuss or delay; immediately. E.g. "without further ado he hurried down the steps"
In late Middle English "at do" meant "action" or "business"), and became abbreviated to ado.
I think these days it sounds a bit old fashioned. Maybe it's on its way to becoming obsolete.
