Take this mountain of salt with a grain of salt.

I shoot tequila with a few grains of salt. Then chase with lime.

No, that's wrong. I even looked it up to confirm your wrongness. Not only is your wrongness very wrong, you appear to be the only one with this particular variety of wrongness as I can't find another wrong person to share your stupidly wrong view. frick you, I hope you choke on a penis and die you stupid, wrong piece of shite.

It's not about the salt itself or the flavor. It's about the size. A grain of "salt" is used because everyone knows what salt is.

you don't know what salt is?

You know, a grain. Of salt. That stuff you season food with. It's sodium chloride.

While there's many competing theories, the jury is still out. Science still can't tell us exactly what salt is. Perhaps one day we will know but until then humanity can only stare into the shaker and wonder......

I believe David Vitter will dominate Bel Edwards this weekend. But I'm not an expert, so please take that with a grain of salt.

I probably know more about salt than one or two other posters on this website...
And that post I quoted didn't make sense.

I hope your dog is doing better though.

It takes a certain kind of hubris for a man to think he knows anything about the mysterious substance known as salt. You know less than you think science man.

Subtle brag on your salt knowledge bro? You're a vast knowledge vault of salt and intimidates me.

It only makes sense when used to cast skepticism upon the validity of GOOD news.
Consider this:
"You're all going to win a box of free chocolates, but take that with a bit of chocolate".
When you come to comprehend the validity of my illustration you will admit that you're wrong.

Maybe Rex can explain to us what this obvious metaphor doesn't mean.
