#3 What with many idioms not passing the PC test, a lot have fallen out of favor:
Math teacher daughter was helping a student work through an algebra problem; knowing that there may be multiple ways to achieve the correct answer, she said that there was more than one way to skin a cat. that earned her a time out in the principal's office the next day; seems another student was a PETA member.
