Quotation[edit]

Isn't this a quotation rather than an idiom? Mglovesfun (talk) 15:21, 21 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Not really. I've been using it all my life, and only recently found it was attributed to George Bernard Shaw. It's idiomatic in the sense that it has a distinct meaning not guessable from its parts.--Dmol 18:05, 21 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
