Topic	ITT: Common sayings or expressions that don't make sense to you.

The expression more commonly used today didn't make sense to me because the meaning wasn't explicit; I always took it as "here's your cake, but you can't enjoy it". It's not until seeing the original meaning that I can get the intended meaning for how it's used now. It certainly doesn't help that "having cake" almost always just means eating it in the first place. --- http://i.imgur.com/VeNBg.gif http://i.imgur.com/gd5jC8q.gif http://i.imgur.com/PKIy7.gif http://i.imgur.com/3p29JqP.gif <cite>UnholyMudcrab posted [p:980461945] in ITT: Commo...
