Worth two in the bush

The phrase "Worth two in the bush" has the opposite meaning of the original proverb "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush".

To better understand this, you must understand the original saying; "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". The first part of the phrase; "A bird in the hand" means that it is better to have something that is small but guaranteed, instead of something that is risky with uncertain rewards - "Worth two in the bush".

By something being "Worth two in the bush" you are willing to risk what is already in front of you, with hopes of achieving something much better.

"Worth two in the bush" can be used to describe something that is highly desirable, extremely valuable, and so rare that it's almost mythical.
If someone were to create a functional Star Wars lightsaber, that would be "worth two in the bush". I'd much rather have one lightsaber instead of a thousand medieval swords; it's so much better.

Worth

Something a cripple like you will never have. I could put a bullet though every hole on your body, dick first, and the world would be a better place and would continue to get better after every shot.
That mongoloids life is just worth less than everyone else's. I would just kill it but it would undervalue my own life so drastically that I would have to kill 4 or 5 more people to break even. I guess that's where the word "Worthless" comes from. Someone saw a cripple and thought "if only there was a word that described this thing accurately. Oh, I know! It worth less so we'll just mash the word together. Worthless. 'Worthless cripple gets handouts from everyone around it'. Perfectly describes it. Good job me. Now if only we could label it in a way that gets it out of society. I know! We'll call it "High functioning mentally challengedburger". It's like, it doesn't shit all over itself but you can still tell just by talking to it that it's inferior to you. Almost like it's not actually a person and need to be locked in some kind of group home and then murdered by someone better than it.
