      They're really not synonyms. Honestly. They're different. Look it up. Also, stop whining. Nobody's buying it.

      You honestly can't tell the difference, when it would be right to use one and not the other? Seriously?

      You just said "they're really not synonyms" and that's just laughably, provably false. Bye.

          The fact Google has it thus doesn't mean the two meanings are the same. If you can't discern the difference then stop writing. And whining.

          So ^when push comes to shove" actually means "when things stay exactly the same"? Fascinating.

          They are not. *To push* and *to push roughly* are not the same thing (and the difference is in the definition)

          it's "push comes to shove" not "push comes to push" or "shove comes to shove" though for @mtracey I guess it's "shove comes to push"

          They're synonyms in the sense that they have very similar meanings but not in the sense that they are interchangeable.
