Saw this one flying by on Discord.

Image description: A 3x3 collage of literal versions of some popular sayings:

Butterflies [drawing of a flying piece of butter]

Hold your horses [photo of a farmer lifting a whole horse]

Well in that case [drawing of a well inside an empty suitcase]

Well said [picture of a hand holding a microphone to a well]

Holy shit [picture of a hand pointing towards a toilet bowl with light emerging from it]

No way [picture of a road that's suddenly getting cut off]

Let that sink in [picture of a bathroom sink standing outside an open door]

Well that sucks [picture of a vacuum cleaner poking out of a well]

Okay this is crazy [drawing of 3 humans, the left one is named Okay, the right one is named Crazy, and the middle one is introducing them to each other]
