Current Events > Turning over a new leaf

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wtf does that even mean. If it's a new leaf, why I gotta turn it over? What's wrong with the side it's already on?

I can understand turning over an old leaf, because then you get the new untouched side, but a new leaf is untainted, it can be whatever it wants to be. Turning it over is just upping the change it accidentally tears or something.

This. As long as you aren't already on probation like me. 90 days to go, though. =]

DXM is still legal and I use that. A lot

Leaf = page in a book
So if you want to do something different you turn over the leaf to read a new page

Does that wreck your internal organs or no?

The English language is full of phrases and idioms that don't exactly have to make complete logical sense. Partly because of how old it is as a language and partly because of just how many other languages it has liberally borrowed from over the years.

I personally think it's trying to just point to how temporal leaves themselves are on trees - they come out in the spring and fall in the autumn. So it's not very difficult to turn a new leaf - should give you some hope that you can make a quick change. But it's also a word that does point to pages in books, so that's another way to look at it I guess.
