What goes “without saying?”
People always say that something goes without saying, but how often is that really the case?
Is there anything, anything at all, that you can think of that actually goes without saying?

There are some things that go without saying, so I'm not going to say them.

That you may not have someone to peel the hard boiled eggs for you does not go without saying.

Saying "Thank you" when someone steps out of your way or holds the door open for you goes without saying. Although I admit this is experience rather than hard fact.

If my aunt had a dick she wouldn't be my aunt. I always thought that went without saying.

Well technically, if she was a blood relative and trans-gendered, she would have a dick and still be your Aunt.
