However, "it tastes like fish" is one you hear often that many can relate too. Yes, I'm talking about eating FOOD. Get your mind out of the gutter. Mmm.... There's another popular cliche. However we're staying on topic.
Definitely some people know the accuracy of it tastes like shit. Those in the know include astronauts and mental patients. Since taste and smell are so closely related though, if someone who is a non-astronaut and non-mental patient says something tastes like shit I give them the benefit of the doubt since they certainly know what shit smells like.
I hadn't thought about fish, but that is another good one. What does fish taste like? And what does it mean to say fish has a "fishy" taste? Should it have a "chickeny" taste? A vanilla taste?

I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
