Over the years you tend to pick up certain things from their commentary... things like " Making a meal out of it" and "having a second bite of the cherry."
The English certainly have a way with words, some of which i'm begining to question. Like "You can't have your cake and eat it". I know what it means but the question is.. why not? Hey its my cake, why cant I eat it? I want to eat my cake...its my cake damn it!

Quote from wikipedia
"It means once you've eaten your cake, it's no longer available to "have." Used for expressing the impossibility of having something both ways, if those two ways conflict."
Rainy, if that is what it means, then it should instead say "You can't eat your cake and have it too"...no?
