Stupid Sayings

Not even sure this is a saying as my ex was pretty f
king thick to say the least.
She always used to say this when something/someone done something mad/a bit random/strange or whatever.
"As nutty as a fruit cake"
I mean, what the fk does that mean? - yes she did get the piss taken out of her for it (rightly or wrongly?).
Anyone else come across sayings from others which make absolutely no sense what so ever.

same here......common phrase? she is the only person I have heard say it.I know fruit cakes have nuts in (should have mentioned that) but its not exactly very nutty is it? considdering the rest of the ingredients and why would you think of fruit cake if you wanted nuts?

'Nuttier than a squirrel's fart...'
I assume that because a fruit cake is expected to have fruit in it, so a nutty fuit cake would be, like mad, yeah?
Oh, and I've heard the saying fking billions of times 
Now, calling something unusual or unexpected "Random", that is odd...

It would however, make more sense, non?
I'm not disputing that, but how often do our quaint phrases actually make sense?For example, how often have you actually, literally been "over the moon"? There are only a handful of Apollo astronauts and Soviet Cosmonauts who can truly attest to that and yet it's a very common phrase.
Maybe we should make our own saying to make it make more sense.
"As nutty as squirrel s
t""As nutty as something with a high proportion of nuts in it, in relation to the overall mix of ingredients"
"As nutty as, well, a load of nuts"
Not quite as catchy, are they?
