a space is a spade
Used when someone says two things are kind of the same and kind of not, but they’re too lazy to just pick one.
She said my dog was a space is a spade. It’s a dog. It doesn’t need to be a planet.
My teacher said my essay was a space is a spade. It was about space. It didn’t need to be a spade.
He said my job was a space is a spade. It’s just a job. He doesn’t need to be a planet.
