Everyday Chrisa bounces off endless mental output from her little mind...which isn't actually little at all since she amazes us with an assortment of mind-boggling input as well as many which require intelligent responses. They all come in various forms - questions, riddles, silly songs, funny rhymes, witty remarks and etc. Not to mention some serious theological questions.
I can't get this one out of my mind since yesterday...
If anyone can give her a satisfying answer, I will give you a good treat the next time I see you...
Q: Why do people say, " You get on my nerve...and not...you get on my brain or vein??"

*lols* Oh, I love this one, Selina!
Erm... because when you get on 'nerves', the nerves send electrical impulses that are really painful?
And they are reminisce of what it feels like when someone annoying is around u? *lols*
hmm...but brains look disgusting in the picture, so what do you think, Aunty Gillian? So when you feel disgusted...how about "you get on my brain"
i will wait for more people to answer - see if anyone can give a better answer...ha ha ha!

Chrisalynn, may you grow up to be a doctor, dear :> And then you can tell us what is the right answer!
Your nerves are what makes you react to situations and conditions around you.
your nerves make you feel cold, warm, pain and etc. when you feel these senses (they 'get' on your nerves, so to speak), you react (by putting on a jacket, turning on the fan or trying to ease the pain).
So when someone 'gets on your nerve', he/she makes you feel irritated, and you will most probably react to him/her.(by screaming or shouting. But reaction is a choice. You can choose to be patient and quiet=))
The phrase 'you get on my nerves' speaks about the function of the nerve, so maybe you can use 'you get on my brain' based on the brains function like this
--> "Hey Ed, you made me think deep, you really get on my brain."
Of course, no one uses this phrase because it is not a common phrase. You can start popularising it though =)
"Why not vein?"Well your veins transfer blood. That is it's main function. Your veins don't make you feel. Your nerves make you feel.
Chisa, you made me think of your question for 1 day and 1 night. YOU get on my brains. ;-)
mel,
you did well...in digging your brain! like how you put them so well in words...but chrisa still hunting for her perfect answer :)
