Time to retire the idiom?
Seen here:
Yesterday I told the kids that I was sounding like a broken record. Then I had to explain what I meant, since they have absolutely no idea:
- what a record is,
- how it works, or
- how it can still work when broken, and thus
- why it then sounds like it does.
Sigh. I’m not just their Dad, I’m now officially an old fogey.
