talked me down out of my tree

This is an old phrase that has become condesed and reversed in the original meaning. Originally to be in a tree was to be stuck somewhere mentally, emotionally or situationally that you could not easily escape from on your own. The proverbial cat stuck in a tree that the proverbial fireman needs to rescue. Of course, cats are perfectly capable of getting out of trees, which is why we do not see many cat skeletons in trees. However, it is not uncommon to see a fellow human, so distraught be whatever is affecting them, they they have lost their way and cannot see a way out. Proverbially, they are stuck in a tree and need someone to talk them down, out of their tree.

My life had dust gone insane, fortunately Jimmy came over and talked me down, out of my tree.

The great palm tree incident of 2019

The trees turned out to be just trees. In the Taylor Swift fandom, February 25th and 26th will forever be marked as the series of days we all went a little bit more insane.

The great palm tree incident of 2019 has offered Miss Swift enough material to laugh at us for weeks. The end.

Can't see the forest through the trees.

This term means someone is so simple minded that they can't figure out the simplest problems. Their minds are like great big empty voids of any kind of logical thought. This is why even though the can see the trees their simple minds can't grasp that's the forest.

Ray : Did you see that guy trying to change his flat tire, it took him an at least an hour.

Tony :That guy can't see the forest through the trees.

Got the whole tree up your ass

Much like the definition of โ€œstick up your ass,โ€ this is used to describe a strict person - however, this version describes it to a rather extreme extent.

You people never let me do anything I want! Forget the stick... youโ€™ve got the whole tree up your ass!
