2021.Random.Phrases

As in 2020*, I collected random phrases that, for whatever reason, struck my fancy. This year's list includes one by me; last year's had none. I liked the phrase, so I entered it, but that somehow seems transgressive. We'll see if I add anything of mine this year. Regardless, here are phrases and stuff from 2021 that I liked. There's no point to this other that that.
