    Not to be rude, but it’s actually “play it by ear”. I’m trying to come up with something witty to say, but I’m dropping a blank.

      I don’t want to beat under the bush so I’m just going to say it. You should have said "drawing a blank ".

        Hey man just want to correct you so you don’t embarrass yourself, it’s beat around the bush. Good thing I nipped that in the butt.

          It’s nip it in bud - which is not the nipple of a human, but the bud of a rose. Sorry for being so pedophile.

            A pedophile is a kiddie diddler; you’re thinking of “pedantic.” But, that’s just my two scents on the matter.

              It’s actually “my two cents.” No offense, after all, every buddy makes missed takes.
