My mistake nym, it was Polonius to the King.

"Brevity is the soul of wit."

I thought the sheer irony would make it more apparent.

LA: it's dead Jim.


The singular scaled, non warmblooded water-dweller you have lost is but one of many to be found in the oceans of our great planet.

Having identical, or at least common, attributes is a necessary condition for carrying out an accurate identification of a similar individual.

Some variation of:
To know one is to be one?
You have to be one to know one?

The usual way of saying it (in my neck of the woods) is "It takes one to know one." You're on target.
:Trophy:

So FINALLY i got one right (ish)!! Okay. . . .

Do not emit or ooze aqueous droplets from lacrimal glands for the reason that an event has come to cessation, but rather spread your facial muscles from side to side for the reason that the event occured in the first place.

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.

I'm not sure what this one is, but I'm thinking it has something to do with sex.

Just kidding... I thought JT's answer was good, and I can't see any other possibility just yet. :D

Of course, iLion's mind is always on sex. :e2seesaw:

Seriously, I can't see any solution, either. Could we have another hint from the OP? :Huh:

I suspect this is another regional one.

Since it's stalled, I'm going to jump in here.

When you take woodchips, press them flat with a little glue and chemicals, then impress words upon those flattened leaves and then glue sheaves of these flat woody objects together with a thicker bit of flattened wood product wrapped around the whole object it cannot be said that the content on the thinner woody-bits held inside are inherently like the impression one gets when first observing the thicker, outer, flat woody-bit.

Members of a paraphyletic group of gill-bearing aquatic organisms, lacking limbs with digits, and individuals who arrive to spend time at one's domicile, place of business or other personal space begin to emit an enveloping aura offensive to the olfactory system after the passage of a sequence of three consecutive 24-hour periods.

Fish and houseguests smell after three days. (Benjamin Franklin)

If one were to divide the trades which humans ply in order to earn currency into groupings and render a label for each of these segments, then the particular portion of the economy in which humans entertain other humans for money could be said to be like no other loosely defined collection of individuals engaged in money-earning behaviour.

There's no business like show business. :)

Retains a favorable, pleasing and agreeable character discernible to the senses before, or upon, reaching an ultimate quantity of liquid of limited dimensions having sufficiently high specific gravity to descend in a spherical mass.

If it is I'm surprised. But then I've never travelled North of the Equator so I wouldn't really know...

I'm not sure what this one is, but I'm thinking it has something to do with sex.

It was "a quick game's a good game"... so I'm really hoping you don't apply that logic to sex. But like I said, the ways of the northern hemisphere remain a mystery to me ;)

Nym: Good to the last drop.

LA: Never heard that one before.

I was about to type, put money in mouth:D

I guess it's put your money where your mouth is.

God, Nature and all the kings and queens who ever ruled the Universe or had any participation in making the cosmos and the laws that govern physics dictate that in forests there are four-legged cats, some of which are tigers and some are lions but it's the other nasty cats, the leopards on whom this law has been imposed that 'thou mustn't try to change thy costume.'

A leopard can't change its spots.


That person has misplaced all of their small, colorful, glass orbs.
