Preach to the choir

It’s a metaphor which basically means tell us something we don’t already know. Usually pertains to a conversation about something related to politics or religion but could mean anything . In church there’s always a preacher every Sunday. The choir boys and girls are the people who sing the melodies. So basically the choir has heard everything the preacher has to say every Sunday. Does newcomers would not have heard what the preacher had said. So when somebody says preach to the choir the metaphor actually means that the choir has already heard everything the preacher has to say. So if somebody’s rambling on and on about a subject that you already know about and agree with you could say well you’re preaching to the choir LOL get it?

Preakness

A Baltimore tradition known for legal public drunkeness. It doesn't matter if you're 12 or 52 - you will be drunk. You will probably ride a school bus to Pimlico, where you will ingest more beers than you ever have before at 8 am. You will continue drinking in line, so that by the time you enter the field, you already have the drunk munchies. You may not actually see a horse all day, yet this IS indeed a horse race. And yet, many have been known to spend money betting on Smarty Jones just to get a lousy $2 pay out. You will come clean and leave covered in either beer, urine, mud, puke, or a fabulous combination of the group. You will probably use a port-a-potty more in this one day than all other days of your life combined. You will challenge people at bonging beers, and invent new drinking games that will be forgotten the next day. You will make grand plans to go out that night and continue drinking, but will pass out anywhere between 3 and 7 pm until noon the next day. You will spend $40 to spend a day in the dirt, and know it's a bargain. If you've gone once, you will return every year thereafter, and love that you live in the fabulous city of Baltimore.
