    I always HATE itr when people say "Take his comments with a HUGE pinch of salt". The point of the 'pinch of salt' is that a pinch of salt makes no difference, so the meaning of it is that you shouldn't let something affect you becuase its as insignificant as adding 'a pinch of salt' to a recipe. So if you say "Huge pinch of salt" then that would affect the flavour and therefore would have the opposite meaning to the meaning intended.

    Fucking big pinchers, what are we going to do with you all, eh?

    • Throw the salt in their eyescreative-
    • Isn't the phrase, "with a grain of salt", instead of, "huge pinch of salt". As the former which you so deftly pointed out ... makes no sense.
