Some phrases are so well-known, you don't need to say the whole thing to be understood.
E.g., you can say "birds of a feather" without saying "flock together."
-“When life hands you lemons…”
-“Great minds…”
-“When in Rome…”
Such partial phrases are called 'anapodotons.'

hey friends, there's been a significant increase in colon cancer in younger people in the last 5 years.
please, if you're 30-45 and can convince your doctor of it, get a colonoscopy. if not, ask them to give you at least a FIT test.
take care of you!
kthxbye

Spent the late afternoon doing paintings that turned out horribly, but it was still better than scrolling.
Highly recommend putting some studio hours in your calendar. Make something. Learn a new skill. Get off the screen and get messy.
