“if dog rabbit”
“If the dog hadn’t stopped to take a shit, he’d have caught the rabbit.”
my parents are lazy in their bizarre sayings
(addendum to sayings: “How many rings around a bulldog’s ass?)

i wonder what it would be like if there was a truth day…and that everyone was unable to tell lies, dodge questions, avoid answering or otherwise escape the truth, if just for one day. just one day where you could know what was said was true, what people felt was true, what was being done was true. they say the truth can set you free? but what if you couldn’t even say a white lie? what would we do? social conventions would be gone…but no one could backbite, no one could gossip, no one could hide how they felt from you…all would be in the open and everyone would be exposed.

Do you ever wonder where your parents get some of their weird phrases?
Like “Fat dogs fart.” Or “Grass grows slow on a rolling stone.” “If dog rabbit.”
Or better yet…wonder what in the hell it really means?
Like “That really frosts my cookies.” Or the one I have never understood “He went to shit and the hogs ate him.”

Daria is the poster child for “teen misfit,” and holds in high contempt what she sees as the shallowness and superficiality of the world around her. She is also cynical — though she’d say she’s “realistic” — and mistrustful of authority, and doesn’t hesitate to make her opinions known when she sees fit. She has a talent for writing, a sharp intellect, an even sharper tongue (her sarcasm could cut tempered steel), and a wit so dry it makes the Sahara look like a rain forest.
