#287)The world is your oyster

I've eaten oysters but I never compared them to my world or anyone else's for that matter.
What does an oyster have to do with my world?

#286)Home is where the heart is

I never understood this? Home is where I go to sleep,eat,watch TV,and get comfortable. My heart is in my chest just like everyone else. Wherever I go, there is my heart.

#285)"Let bygones be bygones"

Makes no sense. What's a bygone?

#284)"late"

The late dead person.
This one always confused me? How can they be late if they're not around anymore?
Like the late Bob Barker used to say "Help control the pet population. Have your pets spayed or neutered"

#283)"Let's cut to the chase"

What chase?

#282)"can I have a word with you"

It's always more than just one word.

#281)"with all due respect"

It seems no one really means it anymore when they say this.
