If you're clumsy, you might be described as all thumbs.

Unless you're clumsy enough to get into a thumb-separating accident, then I guess you're no thumbs

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a message made popular - perhaps totally unsurprisingly - by people who sell breakfast foods

Whichever meal you ate when you were hungry was probably the most important meal

I hope they have hazardous materials disposal training and adequate PPE if they're going to be incinerating my toxic thoughts

I, too, yearn for the unattainable

I bet "grognard" is only used by grognards now

For the uninitiated, a grognard is a person who likes older style wargaming. The usage suggests a person who is older, set in their ways, and somewhat curmudgeonly. Often preferring how things used to be in the systems they grew up playing.

Generally speaking, they prefer a crunchy game with high mortality and grit, as opposed to a looser system with a narrative or character-driven focus.

For a term in more active use, I submit "crunchy" since I just used it. A game's crunchiness describes how complex the rules are - essentially how much number-crunching players have to do in order to play.

I'd be scared too if I had to come back to work after being a victim in a hit-and-run

Satan's not kidding around

Yeah, I've got the triforce. They said they broke the mould when they made me, but clearly that was a lie.

Without reading too much into it, as long as you've got three points you have a triangle so I'd guess it's super common. But that ruins the mystery, so where's the fun in that?

Mine are backwards, I think my freckles might be broken

I pay for the whole health bar, so I'm going to use the whole health bar.

Any hit points beyond the last one are just gravy anyway
