Kind regards

The phrase “The grass seems greener on the other side” illustrates how people often perceive other situations or possessions as better than their own. For example, if you and I were neighbors with a shared lawn, and we both installed identical turf grass, your grass might appear greener to you compared to your own. Because you see the grass blade sides, my grass looks more vibrant. Look down at your grass to see the soil between the blades. If I were to view your grass from the same perspective, I would see the same effect: your grass would appear greener to me. Essentially, we both perceive the other’s grass as greener because we are viewing it from a different angle and do not see the soil in our own yards.

Isn’t simply the anti thesis of having your head in the clouds?

May be related to “turnspit” dogs. Often in pairs, they would take turns running in the wheel to drive the roasting spit.

Predicate Adjective
A predicate adjective is an adjective that follows a linking verb and describes the subject of the sentence. It provides more information about the subject by linking it to a state or quality.
For example, in the sentence “The flowers are beautiful,” “beautiful” is a predicate adjective that describes the subject “flowers” and follows the linking verb “are.”

In the song 🎵 Head Over Heels Song by Tears for Fears “something’s happens and I am head over heels, I never find out until I am head over heels” meaning that he always falls in love without knowing what will happen nex— it is too late, he is already in love.

Chirs – (clean slate) July 19, 2024
Actually, this is another Naval Idiom; when The Watch changed over, the previous sailor would copy his notes from the slate he had been using, into the log, and “clean the slate” for the next sailor to use. It goes right back to the Elizabethan era.
