But since it’s Silly Saturday I have to find the silly bits about it
Well I know very little about Minions; in fact I was very proud that I actually identified it! And he has his little doggie friend with him. Well everybody knows dogs don’t go to school (though we are encouraging more children to walk to school so maybe the dog is just walking to the school gate). But I read that minions have been around for at least 60 million years so they must have learned everything they need to know by now. Now I’ve been silly enough so I’ll move on to my saying of the day which is ‘not a patch on something or someone’.

The idiom "not a patch on" originates from the mid-18th century, referring to a patch of fabric used to mend or cover a flaw in a garment. The phrase implies that something is so inferior it wouldn't even be suitable to serve as a patch, highlighting a stark contrast in quality, skill, or merit. 
Explanation of the Origin
Fabric and Mending: The core idea is rooted in the literal meaning of a "patch"—a piece of material used to cover a hole or repair a garment. 
Inferiority: To say something is "not a patch on" something else means it is nowhere near as good or of such poor quality that it couldn't even be used to perform a simple mending task. 
Contrast in Quality: The idiom emphasizes a significant disparity in quality, ability, or overall merit between two people or things. 
Example 
"This new model is fantastic, but it's not a patch on the original version". In this case, the original model is superior, and the new one falls far short of its standard.
