The first person account explains it, kind of. The other hits are clearly ESL, but hey. Maybe they think we cherish lousy bread.
Here’s one I’m guilty of: For the longest time I used to say “that’s the best thing since liced bread” ... having no idea why having bread with lice in it was a good thing.

All this while I thought I’m weird and the girlfriend(s) would give me you-didn’t-just-say-that-did-you look when i tell them i never wash my sock, i just buy new pairs whenever i feel i like a new one or whenever there is new nice smell emitting from it. That is why they invented 3-in-a-pack! It’s the best thing since lice bread, RM10 and you get 3 pairs, are you kidding me?
How do you get your washing so white?
Let’s see, Fiddy Cent is about RM1.50, so the socks are about a buck a pair.
