Any phrases mean more to you than they should?

No phrases that I can think of, but the words “britches” and “nasty” always remind me of the uncle who molested me. Everytime I hear either, I cringe.

“Is this a dream?” That means much, much more, then just simply the notion I may be sleeping, or just dreaming, or just not believing what I am experiencing. Sometimes I really do wonder if a dream has not manifested itself into reality, only long enough for me to believe it, then, when Morpheus so decides, the dreams fades and I am removed from it, back to this worthless existence, full of worthless experiences, I now live.
