Simple jokes it took you forever to get...

lol...you used the example of "you cant have your shoes and wear them too"...well that doesnt work in the spirit of the cake proverb, because you can still HAVE your shoes after you wear them....After you EAT your cake, you wont HAVE it anymore. So you have to choose...either HAVE your cake, or EAT it. One or the other.

who eats a whole cake though? Are we talking lil debbie cakes or big ass cake boss cakes? After I eat cake, I still have cake left.

But its stupid, why else would I want cake other than to eat it? thats not a good example, cake is useless if you are not going to eat it.

You're over thinking it, and being too literal. Its just used to express an overall binary concept of decision making, where one HAS to choose one over the other...the two decisions cant co-exist. One eliminates the other.

So you either have the cake in your possession, or you eat it. Think about it further...havent you ever eaten a crackin ass meal, only to want that plate again a few hours later once you get hungry? Well, you cant because its gone...think of it as it being the cake of its type in existence.

I understand it, I just think cake is a poor example. The fact that so many people think its a dumb saying or just dont get it, proves my point that its a terrible phrase.

No....You're kinda right in the sense that Nelly fukked up a straight forward pun....He could have said " I kidd like jason", and the rhyme would have worked just the same in an english sense, and obviously been much stronger as a pun...why he added the "ing" is beyond me. Thats ALWAYS irritated me.

I would think it would have to be that way because he was referring to something he was actually kidding about. It needed action
