Aside from looking at language and how it relates to cutlure (see Language post for answers to questions), we also looked at the phrase "Time flies like an arrow"
We had to add punctuation to it to get different meanings.
2 of the meanings mentioned were that;
time flies, like an arrow. Hence, time passes fast
time: flies like an arrow.
time flies; like an arrow. This one was suggested to mean timing flies.
An interpretation that I came up with was that time flies like an arrow in the sense that you can't go back in time, as arrows aim ahead. So all there is is the present, moving in the direction of the future. However when I said this, people gave me weird looks since it was a different/weird interpretation, but I still stand by it and hopefully someone else will eventually see the phrase the way I did.
