We are currently on our second straight day out of school due to snow. I don't know if everyone in my family will survive. Someone may be murdered. Just kidding
So far this week we have looked at a number of phrases. All of them ranging in how obvious it is that they're ridiculous. Today's phrase that I am going to analyze is, "(to) feel like a million dollars".
Woman: "Do you like this dress?"
Husband who doesn't want to argue no matter how ugly the dress is: "You must feel like a million dollars you look so good."
Now, according to Dictionary.com "feel: to have a sensation of being". To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever become a million dollars. They have never physically become a large sum of currency. So, how do they know what a million dollar feels like?
My best guess at what a million dollars feels like is grimy. Have you ever thought about how many people touch money? Money is one of the dirtiest things in the world, and not just because it can lead to corruption. You could feel like a million dollars if you had just rolled around in the mud, and there were are large amount of people touching you while you did this.
Bottom Line: The only way to feel like a million dollars is to go to a McDonalds playhouse that has a ball pit. Once there wait until the busiest part of the day and go sit in the ball pit. Before long, there will a large number of children who just got done eating and have extremely dirty hands. They will be climbing all over you for their own amusement. Not fun.
