MODERATORS
I'm not sure what you are trying to say .
RememberTheApollo_ said "so many phrases get truncated and used to mean the opposite of what they originally intended." not "so many phrases get truncated which changes the meaning to be the opposite of what they originally intended."
Calling someone a "Jack of all trades" never lost it's original meaning, that part is true.
Calling someone a "Jack of all trades, master of none" does change the meaning.
If you simply say "Jack of all trades.." but mean "Jack of all trades, master of none" that also changes the meaning.
