Wait… you’ve been saying these phrases WRONG your whole lifee. First, “Jack of all trades, master of none” isn’t an insult. The FULL phrase is: “Jack of all trades, master of none… but oftentimes better than a master of one.” it actually praises versatility, not mediocrity. Second, “Blood is thicker than water” doesn’t mean family over everything. The ORIGINAL version is: “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” Meaning chosen bonds can be stronger than family ties.
