552. What we mean is what we don't say (38)

We say:  I didn't sleep a WINK last night.

We mean:  Honestly, I didn't close my eyes ONCE.  How dare you not believe me?

What it says about us:  Well, maybe I nodded off now and then for a few seconds...or minutes.... or more... but how else do I convey to you the extent of my suffering?
