Foolish Phrases (part II)

2. "Neither here nor there"

What in the world? Idioms are fine. In fact, I estimate that more than half of my colloquial speech is comprised of idioms. However, this one takes it a little too far because in itself it has no meaning. How can something be neither here nor there? Everything has to be somewhere. If it is neither here nor there, where is it? Somewhere else?

Alternative options:
- "That's not important."
- "Right. Anyways..."
- "Moving on..."
- "I question the relevance of your statement."
