double edge sword

Proverb used to convince one of not using a weapon (literal or figuritive) because it may come back and hurt yourself. Rather useless especially with the fact that one can learn how to use a double edge sword (literal or figuritive) effectively.

George: single edge sword is better to use cuz it wont cut you
Bob: A skilled swordsman can use any sword.

Jill: Anger is a double edge sword, it hurts you as well.
Jack: I've been using anger for 8 years and I haven't changed a bit.

double edge sword

"Double edge sword" is a silly overused proverb that makes little sense.

Everything is a double edge sword orig. double-edged sword. Nothing isn’t a double edged sword. Even a single-edged sword is a double-edged sword. Because you can cut something with it, but the other end is kind of flat and doesn’t really cut well. It’s kind of a double-edged sword.

Double-Edge Blue Steel Song

Well pre-dating the Blue Steel look of Zoolander fame, this phrase refers to something entirely unrelated: a song of such depressing mood and portent that it could, figuratively speaking, drive you to put a double-edge blue steel razor blade to a very unhealthy use.

God, I am so depressed by this break-up, I just sat at home last night listening to Double-Edge Blue Steel songs.

double-edged butter knife

When something doesn't really work in your favor, but also sort of works against your enemy.

We had to go over to that dickhead John's house. Sean accidentally shit himself, but he was sitting on John's couch when it happened. Classic double-edged butter knife.

Double-Edged

Double-Edged come from an ancient word meaning (pure rage). It would normally be used to describe something annoying or out of order. If someone is double-edged then they would be an annoying piece of shit and a waste of space.

Some use Double-edged as a good thing, this use of the world is completely wrong and these people are morons.

"Double-Edged Nettles!"

"Darragh you double-edged pedophile."
