Idioms are weird

Have you ever stopped to think about idioms and set phrases in English? Some of them are really weird; for example, the other day I thought of three phrases ("here you go," "there you go," and "here we go" and its variants) that have totally different meanings, even though they're essentially the same thing. And, since this is an English blog, I might as well talk about English here, right? More after the jump break.

Alright, I got a new background, and as per the CC by 2.0 license, I have to attribute the image in order to use it.

That tedious first post that no one reads

Maybe my image of choice is for some reason completely unsuited to backgrounds, because I'm having difficulty fixing it to be larger than 1800x1600 but also less than 300k in size.

...Look at me, I'm metablogging!
