"Clear as mud?"
Normally said after I tried to explain something and I'm only getting a blank stare in response. Or after a meeting when I know everyone is confused.

Streets ahead.
If you have to ask, you're streets behind.

Perfect response. I was just about to type "wish I could upvote twice" when I realized I could boost!
good, that phrase should stay in reddit
Fair enough.
The show The Bear dropped streets ahead in the second season as well as Gillian Jacobs being added to the cast. The creator of the show Chris Storer is the long time partner of Jacobs. Joel Mchale and Dani Pudi had brief cameos as well.
Is it a good show?
I think itβs one of the best shows on tv right now.
Getting two birds stoned at once.
Much of a muchness.
Used to describe something redundant or superfluous. Naming a cat is much of a muchness; it won't come when you call it anyway.

Used when someone or something is obviously bending or breaking the rules in an ungentlemanly manner. Capitalism is not how you play cricket.

I (native UK English speaker)'ve only ever heard it with "cricket" in an adjectival form. As in "that's just not cricket".

A lot of people think it means unhappy, but it really means bewildered. Confusion over the definition has led to a new use as unimpressed.
I always thought nonplussed meant unimpressed.
