¿Cuál es la diferencia entre it never occured to me. y it never hit me. ?Puedes dar oraciones como ejemplo.

@JKDriven do natives commonly say both phrases when they are surprised? in real talk?

@JKDriven thank you! btw how about "i never thought that way"?

@JKDriven or "i never thought like that"??

@JKDriven i appreciate it

since you said so😋 one more thing please!

when someone told me a bed experience he had recently.
if i said "shit happens" instead of "things happen", would it sound rude if i'm not close to him/her?
shit happens is way improper than things happen?

@JKDriven you know what? i'm so lucky to meet you!
i feel kinda gulity bc im asking too much but im not gonna let go of this chance! lol

so... could you please tell me which of these phrases sound "uncommon", "poetic", "unusual"?. i dont need things from textbooks or novels.

1. i'm up a creek
2. that will be the cold day in hell.
3. have a heart!(to a hardass)
4. if memory serves
5. the struggle is real
6. real talk!
7. you will be in for a treat
8. if time's on my side.
9. i'm on the fense(contemplating)

feel free to say anything in your opinion!
it's all cool saying just (uncommon/common)!

@JKDriven awesome!! really!
as for 8, without "if" is it still conditional?

@JKDriven i feel so bad bc i cant help you with anything... idk spanish lol

@JKDriven hmm, but actually i want to use "if time's on my side" as "if time allows me". not as a general statement.

@JKDriven thankbyou sooooo much~!
