The Green Cheese Moon: The most ridiculous thing imaginable. This farfetched figure of speech takes us on a time-traveling journey to the early sixteenth century. 🤯 Despite the opinion of one proverbial scholar, F. E. Hulme (Proverb Lore, 1902), who whimsically surmised it referred to the newness (“greenness”) of the moon each month, it has traditionally symbolized sheer, delightful absurdity. Herein lies a treasure trove of similarly zany expressions:
Synonyms:
- As slapstick as a rubber hammer
- As silly as a screen door on a submarine
- As nonsensical as a soup sandwich
Antonyms:
- Perfectly logical
- Commonplace and ordinary
