"That is tighter than a Heinz Ketchup cap."

The latter! Every time I see the words “here here” appear anywhere, I have a close-to-irresistible urge to reply, “Where, where?”. I usually manage to resist the urge (which is why it's only close-to-irresistible), but God, do my fingers itch!

The ubiquitous sports aphorisms:
"We're giving it 110%."
"We're taking our game to the next level."

When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him. -- Jonathan Swift.
