What does it mean if you say that something's "better than a kick up the ****"?
Favourite answer:A more common expression is "It's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick." Both would mean the situation isn't ideal, but it could be much worse.

Does anyone else hear the birds outside talking? I mean, like really talking English words and sentances?? ?
I can quote them. I just don't know what it means...
"We need a spiritual leader." "Spirit". "We believe in in spirits now"?...(I have no idea what that means...) also, "weird". I swear I hear them talking LOUDLY. Most everything else sounds the same... hope its not to late if it is serious. I have asked a few people but they pretty much said I was crazy...
