Well, they may be looking puzzled because the actual expression is "six of one - half dozen of the other."
It means it's all the same to me.
I hate when people say "to make a long story short..." and the story length doesn't get altered one sweet bit!!
Also, in the funny saying category - my mum used to say "what a hoot!" all the time. And if it was
really fun - it was a "hoot and a half!" I cringed when I was a teen, but now, I just love it. For a while, she also tried to stop swearing in front of us - so she was always saying "sugar!"
