Thursday

Idioms Thursday -not really an idiom

This has been one of those weeks when technology and I do not get along.

So while I wait for my tower to be repaired, I think we should look at the phrase:


"Exercise in futility."
An action that achieves no end or goal.

2. An action to achieve a goal that is unachievable.

3. An action that achieves an end or goal that is in itself pointless
Trying to culture an american is a pointless exercise in futility.


Now truthfully it reminds me of that other current colloquialism
"Epic Fail"
When something can be seen to be a total failure


And yeah, I sign them both with the Sign "fail"- no initialized sign, just the old fashioned sign for fail (2:cl -> from inside to outside across non-dominant palm).

With the appropriate face of course. Just imagine me watching my tower being removed 24 hours after I reported I needed a clean install...24 hours to come to my conclusion.

Sigh.
