Me: "Okay, we have carrot sticks and hummus, crackers, pretzels, and apples."
Will: "How come you said we have enough food to feed an army?"
Me: "Well, it was just as expression."
Will: "What's an expression?"
Me: "Sometimes people use phrases that aren't exactly true, but they give you a feeling about what they're trying to say. Like, when I say I have enough food for an army, what does it make you think?"
Will: "It makes me think you have an army somewhere closeby, and you have enough food to feed them."
