A blog had this recently: “One man’s blog is another man’s message,” and it got me to thinking about this phrase “One man’s (blank) is another man’s (blank)” and I wondered how many such phrase’s are out there. Here are some I have heard (quote marks ignored):
One man’s terrorist is another man’s patriot.
One man’s meat is another man’s poison.
One man’s loss is another man’s gain.
One man’s addiction is another man’s profit.
One man’s woman is another man’s tryster.
If you have others please send them to me and we will add them to the list. If you don’t wish to comment here e-mail them to archinsc@knology.net and I will post them anonymously.
