All of that goes out of the water
Posted: October 14, 2020 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: blown out of the water, Hallie Jackson, MSNBC, out the window Leave a commentHallie Jackson, NBC correspondent, said this one on MSNBC, referring to political messaging in the time of a pandemic. It is a conflation of “goes out the window” (disregarded or forgotten) and I believe “blown out of the water” (destroy something or someone completely). “Blows” and “goes” rhyme, and both phrases refer to getting rid of something. A big thanks to Bruce Ryan for hearing this one and sending it in!
