Let's Get This Straight

The phrase "10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag" is nonsense. If the bag is half the weight of the load it is to be holding, it should have no problem doing so (unless you're stuffing a very low density, non-compressible material into the bag, or the bag is made of something heavy and inelastic). Let's stomp this phrase along with the other phrases people utter without realizing how stupid they sound.

So from now on, when using a hyperbole to describe something being overfilled, or full to the max, say "10 gallons of shit in a 5 gallon bag".
