Remember the "behind your back" thing? Here's another phrase that just doesn't do it for me.
"Fits like a glove."
It is a phrase I can never fully relate to... because I have never in my life been able to find a glove that fits. Granted, I never really tried that hard, other than trying on every pair of gloves I happen to come across while shopping, and I've never ever found a glove that fits the way the phrase implies. I can't relate to the phrase. Fitting the way a glove does, to me, has more of a negative implication than a positive one.
Fits like a glove... meh
"Fits like a proverbial legendary glove, a holy grail of gloves, one that actually fits."
