that'll buff out

This is the similar to what mental health therapists tell their patients.

That's a shame. I'd like to think that mental health therapists are helpful to their patients.

I'm not suggesting they aren't!  Patient = wreck.  Therapist = helpful optimism + mad skills.  Never mind.  Re-stash under "Failed Metaphors".

Heh. The car can be fixed, but it will take a lot more than buff. :)

"That'll buff out" = meme with huge potential.  :-)
