"Chalk and cheese" is a common British idiom used to describe two people or things that are completely different from each other, despite sometimes sharing a superficial similarity like a white color. Users across online communities on facebook generally agree that the phrase highlights a stark contrast in personalities, habits, or traits.

Meaning and Usage
    • Complete contrast: Highlights that two subjects have nothing in common.
    • Similar appearance, different nature: Refers to items that may look alike at a quick glance but are completely opposite in reality.
    • People or things: Used for siblings, friends, spouses, or objects and places.
History
    • 14th-century origin: First recorded in John Gower's 1393 poem Confessio Amantis.
    • Deceptive trade: Originally referred to dishonest merchants passing off cheap chalk as valuable cheese.
wow! a myriad collection of possibilities of the mind involved. all together, i am mostly a different type of person.
 
It's most commonly referred to odd couples. Like people say they are 'like chalk and cheese' meaning they are completely different and have nothing in common and you wonder why they are married/going out together.

Sounds like Queesy Cheessy restaurant/diner in the Dork Diaries books.

They mainly serve pizza, salad, buffalo wings and they have arcade games, play areas, rides, and people in costume interacting with the kids.

There's an adult version too, Dave and Busters. It's a restaurant, sports bar and arcade.

Yes because Las Vegas has gambling, amazing buffets, fancy resort hotels and famous singers/performers. Dave and Busters doesn't have any of that. Vegas also hosts big sporting events like champion fights and now indy car racing.

yea I heard about the residencies, not just for oldies, but maybe singers like Celine Dion, Britney Spears, etc who were popular in the 90s.

Have you ever been.

I can't imagine as only got one 'official' casino in my town/city. Plenty of pokie machines in the taverns/pubs tho, that I don't ever go to.
We have sports tho and international concerts..very expensive to see those now.

If you want to go to a fancy resort hotel, you better off going to Australia's Gold Coast, as well as for amusement parks.

Yes I've been to vegas several times over the last few decades, but the last time was over 20 years ago. It's not that great anymore. All the buffets and hotels used to be affordable, now they're expensive and they say business has really slowed down, but it's because people can't afford it now. When I went with family or by myself it was always mainly for the buffets, but we also looked around and played the slot machines and sometimes black jack. But it was mainly the buffets because a new hotel would open up and word would get around that they had a great buffet and it was cheap so we would plan on going.

Oh yes I heard about the legendary buffets, designed to keep you coming back for more...and losing your $$

Who runs the hotels casinos in Vegas? Is it still Harrahs? Or is it the Mafia, or some other unknown mobs of trillionaire tycoons? Don't tell me your current Chief leader owns it all.

I'm so sorry, but I don't understand.

Is this some sort of saying?

What do you mean by being like chalk or cheese
Chalk and cheese r not at all alike . So , if u know two people that r married and they r very different to each other , u might say that they r ; like chalk and cheese . Old english saying . It's used to refer to two things that r very very different .
