SO let's talk about the phrase:
"A diamond in the rough"
Today I and no fewer than FIVE of my co-workers realized we have been using that incorrectly FOREVER.
i always thought it meant like, hey here's this awesome thing in a place I didn't expect to. Like, that super good Ethiopian joint in West Philly sure is a diamond in the rough.
BUT NO. That's like, not what it means at all. We all loudly stood our ground, and then google set us straight.
It was devastating.
