what does "water,bridge" mean?
I was watching a tv series called Kyle XY.
The boy used to be the girl's boyfriend, but they broke up.
When the boy is digging up their past, the girl said:"water, bridge.."

Does it mean, after water cross the bridge, what's gone is gone?

Thanks.....

Hi Danielle
the girl is referring to the phrase "it's all water under the bridge", which is comparing life to a river passing under a bridge - once something has happened, it is in the past and you cannot get it back.  The phrase is normally used in the context of "it's in the past, so forget about it".

Answer

i agree with neal i think the girl just shortened, "water under the bridge" which means... it's in the past, or... it's forgotten about

when someone says it they are usually saying they have forgotten whatever happened, or they have got over it.
