What are some sayings that make no sense to you?

Stuff like ’‘drunk as a skunk’’. Why is that even a saying? Because it rhymes? Is that why? And what about a skunk relates it to a drunkard? Is it because they walk all wobbly like, or because they smell?

Or like, ’‘the pen is mightier than the sword’’. I know what that actually means, yes, but put into a real life context, if I have a sword and you have a pen and we’re having a duel, I’m gonna win. Like what the hell. Which reminds me, ’‘sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me’’.
What the hell kind of saying is this? People can be hurt very badly by what others say, it ain’t some dumbass see no evil hear no evil monkey shit that’s going to stop that, no? And OF COURSE if someone chucks rocks and logs at me, I might break some bones.

Just a bit of humor yall, what sayings make no sense to you?
