-Annie was caught flat-footed by Greg's marriage proposal
Definition: Unable to react quickly; unprepared
Etymology: based on the medical condition, flatfootedness.is when the arch in the foot has been depressed. Although people born with this condition can live normal lives, they will be unable to exert profound athleticism, and are therefore exempt from the draft.
3) Lightning doesn't strike twice
-I know the car crash scared you, but don't worry lightning doesn't strike twice.
-I know you feel bad about being fired, don't worry, you learnt your lesson, and lightning doesn't strike twice.
-I know that Emily was the girlfriend from hell. But your next girlfriend will be normal. After all, lightning doesn't strike twice.
Definition: something that you say which means that a bad thing will not happen to the same person twice
Etymology: Lightning does hit the same spot (or almost the same spot) more than once, contrary to folk wisdom. It could be simply a statistical fluke (i.e., with all the lightning that occurs, eventually lightning will strike somewhere near a previous lightning strike within a short period of time). It could also be that something about the site makes it somewhat more likely to be struck.
