Colloquialisms, and where they come from?

[Laava]

:sunny:Got to thinking today about a couple of things, I was working, but the wind was howling and I was trying not to dwell on it!
An old builders saying is, "We're not here to fuck spiders" What the hell is that sposed to mean? Always said as a motivational, after smoko for instance.

The other one is a "witty" remark that an old workmate used to spout off whenever someone [usually me] was pondering something that was changed or differed from the expected. As in, "But I thought........" Followed by the wisdom of "You know what Thought thought!" No, I dont! And neither did he but he would say it anyway!

Anyone shed some light on that?
