Idiom popularity poll

-
Situated on the right is a poll that I am conducting, purely out of personal curiosity. Please be honest. In any case, I won't know who selected what. I will only know the percentage of people that select the various options.

Thanks for helping.

After voting, you can find more such cat-related idioms and find their meanings here.

Enjoy!

Hmmm... something the 'dog' brought in makes more sense, comparing the number of things brought in by my canine and feline friends :)

@mathew, @suchi: join the club! :)

@Phish: just wondering if a phrase so common in my life is RALLY very uncommon. Turns out its not ALL that uncommon. less that 50% say "no"

@Scorpiogenuis: thanks!

@egorulz: I have only seen my feline friends bring in stuff. :)

Last time i tried idiom , they mistook it for idiot and i really looked like something the cat had dragged in by the time it was all through...But there are plenty idiom freaks around , sample :
Waiter : How would you like your steak , sir , rare or well done ?
Cutomer : Umm, make it idiom
Yes , as those in the know knew and said , the idiom is the message

Narendra Modi - protector of Hindutva?

This is not an anti-Hindu post. This is not a pro-Muslim post. This is not a BJP vs Congress post. This is about Narendra Modi and Hindutva Please keep that in mind when leaving comments. Now that I have cleared that, I want to ask all you people who are proud to be Hindu’s, are you also proud of the so called ‘protectors’ of Hinduism via 'hindutva'? The Tehelka Exposure has left us in no doubt of the Gujrat Goverment's hand in orchestrating the cold blooded massacre in 2002. There is no room for debate on that front anymore. Members of the VHP, Bajrand Dal and Shiv sena confess with pride their hand in the cold murder of Muslim men, women and children. They raped them, cut their limbs and burnt them. Just an instance: Babu Bajrangi, then VHP leader, current Shiv Sena Leader, brags that he ripped open the stomach of a pregnant woman. I have grown up with an adequate exposure to the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Geeta. The amount any regular Hindu is exposed to in this c

The joke in stereotypes

-
I often come across people who form opinions about people based on stereotypes. I have always campaigned against it. However, many continue to adamantly stick to their opinions. Women can not be interested in sports Blonds are dumb Sardar ji’s are fools Muslims have a natural inclination to become terrorists People from Bihar lack culture Gujrati’s are misers There are many more that one can think of. While all these stereotypes are based on certain facts and perhaps figures. It still doesn’t make sense to judge an individual based on the colour of his/her hair or the country of his/her origin. One must judge a person for what he/she is. I know most of the readers of this post are in agreement with me but I’m truly disheartened by the number of people who allow themselves to get swayed by such stereotypes. Here’s the joke: As part of my job, I had to attend a few focus group discussions of late. In every group, one typically finds a smart guy who knows more than the rest and speaks bet

Narendra Modi for PM? - No Thanks!

-
Some people think Narendra Modi should be India's PM. Here’s why I disagree. Whatever arguments, one may have in favour of him, we need to face it - certain truths about him can not be brushed under the carpet. Let us clearly understand that those who support Modi are in fact in favour of everything he stands for. 1) Modi belongs to the tribe that subscribes to the belief system that works with a vision, towards a "hindu rashtra". Where Muslims and Christians and whoever else need to understand and accept their proper place in the system. (for “good” reason of course based on a few actual and a few doctored historic facts) 2) He is capable of stooping to inhuman levels for this. And he is capable of not feeling any remorse for the tragedy. He claims it to be a "natural reaction". 3) Modi is capable of and does in fact see qualities that are worth admiring in Hitler. Gujrat will flourish even without Modi. The nation too, is and will continue to progress even wit
