Thanks, it's been on my bucket list. (Not a cliche from the Bible)--Jpatt 23:40, 26 June 2015 (EDT)

how about "turn the other cheek" - Luke 6:29? JohnSelway 23:53, 26 June 2015 (EDT)

Good one. Add it.--Jpatt 23:56, 26 June 2015 (EDT)

Added. I'll try think of some more also. It is amazing how much of modern language and popular phrases originate from the Bible. More powerful and informed phrases than anything coined in this day and age. "Selfie", "Twerk" etc which all seem to betray a selfishness and egotism compared to the selflessness of the Bible. I suppose this sort of article dovetails quite well into the Conservative words essay. JohnSelway 00:00, 27 June 2015 (EDT)

Apple of my eye

First, kudos to whomever started this article. Second, couldn't the phrase "apple of my eye" be moved from the "slightly altered" category into the main portion? I understand that the Bible doesn't directly use the words, but I think that since the only difference is that the Bible uses third person instead of first person, it is still more accurate to say it came directly from the Bible.

That sentence came out as more convoluted than I meant it to. You can sleep when you're dead.You can't die until after turnover. 09:49, 27 June 2015 (EDT)
