Leg-breaking news

When I was a kid I thought they were saying "leg-breaking news", as if the reporter was chasing after a dangerous story with such zeal that he might actually break one or both of his legs.

Car commercials, I realized last year, aren't saying "$250 'Do It' Signing". My whole life I've barely paid attention to car commercials and because of that I'm as bad at identifying cars as I am at identfying dogs.

There was one day last week when part of the Jason Mraz song "I'm Yours" played in a loop in my head- from "I been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror" to "So I drew a new face and I la-aughed" and all day long I wondered what it means. Why is he checking his tongue?
