Off topic, but… Can we retire this idiom? It’s in this thread like 3 times and it’s always used by people uncomfortable by the fact that someone they don’t like made a good point.

it also exists in multiple different cultures with very different languages, so it seems it is not going away anytime soon

We should retire the idiom because people are using it as intended and everyone understands it as intended?

I think people intend it to be a clever undercutting of the person they dislike. But it stopped being clever ages ago. When does something become a cliche? Because it just sounds petty now.

It’s not about “someone I don’t like”, it’s that this guys opinions are pretty much always beyond total shit.
