    Colloquialisms, and where they come from?

    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?

    Thought thought his foot was out of bed, so he got up to put it back in. According to my grandmother anyway

    A way of saying; why aren't we doing it already, I'm already doing it, or it's already done.
