If you really think you have the answer, go ahead and start the next one so we don't waste two days worth of 'dead air' time waiting to be told we were right, before we finally post the next one to be guessed. Huh? What did I say? Does that make sense?
Um... I think it does. Well... I can understand it ... sorta ...
Maydmarion is right, and so's Grondy.
If you're sure you got it right, go ahead and post a new one.
PS: I take it the game has been approved of then?

I thought that you were supposed to post the next proverb only if you got the previous one right. And obviously that wasn't right! Proverbs are not my speciality.

Too bad for me, I never paid any attention to the proverbs and idioms in the English class.
Yup, silly English teachers who focus on spelling and pronounciation and not proverbs, huh? This is a game for those who speak English and for those who feel like google-ing. I am neither. Come little brother, we can have fun somewhere else.
