Trump played the liberals like a Stradivarius violin. Trump knows that Iran can't break a cease-fire unless there's a cease-fire to break.

A custard slice (UK) or snot block (Australia) is loosely based on the French mille-feuille. It consists of a block of congealed custard sandwiched between two thin layers of puff pastry and topped with icing. I'm not sure if you have them in the USA or if they're even legal.

Personally, I think it's one of the worst patisseries going, but they sell well, so someone must be buying them, yet I've yet to meet anyone who's actually made one. I even know of one place that sells the off cuts at reduced price.

Perhaps it's because I think custard should be boiling hot and runny, something you pour over a pudding. Cold, firm custard doesn't do it for me. Don't get me started on the piece of crap that's crème brùlee, don't pour custard into a pot and pretend it's a dessert.

Ok, so, like , Easter family dinner yesterday was awesome and fun and everything until my evil middle sister called me an oxymoron. 'Cuz , you know, we always put the fun in dysfunction and it's not really a Holiday 'til someone cries. So, anyways, being the totally, mature, responsible adult that I am, I replied by calling her an idiom and stuck out my tongue at her to emphasize her idiomness and then my grade school age nieces threatened to put us both in time out.

But I was left confused as to who should be more scathed by these words-of-wit? I mean, Is it worse to be an oxymoron or an idiom?
