I always confuse the supposed helpful reminder of which way the clocks get set twice a year. I know the saying about Spring forward and Fall back, but I can equally see “spring back” being a saying like “spring back into action”, and “fall forward” in context would be, “Don’t lean to far over the cliff, or you will “fall forward”.
