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.
