Did not understand The meaning and please keep small sentences from now they couldn’t fit in my bookπ
haoming β (pour cold water on) May 21, 2020
I bet it comes from Chinese. There is an exactly same saying in Chinese, a word by word match, with exactly the same meaningγAnd the Chinese dislike cold water – no shower in cold water, no drinking of cold water.

It is made up from “old is Kool” – “old’s Kool” after that it is become “old skool”
Bernardine Kennedy β (coin a phrase) May 18, 2020
To ” coin a phrase ” the explanation does not make it for me. I understand when they use the word minting or stamping. Did they stamp each coin with a different phrase? That would make sense. To use the word invention , in my mind is not a phrase.

Craig Scognamiglio β (cut down) May 9, 2020
In the Middle English story of King Arthur, the king kills a giant. First he cut off his legs at the knees, literally cutting him down to size, and before dispatching him with Excalibur basically taunts him in Buffy the Vampire Slayer style, and this is a rough translation of the Middle English, “you are too tall by half, to be honest I hate that. You’ll be much more handsome at this height⦔ and then he administers the coup de grace. Arthur apparently liked to rub it in, which now, by the way, is a phrase that I seem to want to know the answer to π
Krissi β (pipe dream) May 8, 2020
That makes total sense. I have always wondered where that saying came from. This site is fascinating to me. But Iβm also someone who loves to know a lot of random things about a lot of random things. LOL π
