David Harold Anderson – (at the drop of a dime) June 6, 2021
To drop a dime is to make a phone call.
Tex – (the devil is beating his wife) June 6, 2021
Triggered. I don’t believe a 320 y.o. idiom normalizes domestic violence. Jeeze people drop the faux morality
David Roddis – (a little of what you fancy does you good) June 4, 2021
This is very much a British (English) phrase, and it is from the Cockney dialect. In other words, it is working-class slang. It would not be used by “proper” English speakers. This is more to do with class distinctions than impropriety. Also, your definition say “coveted” way of talking about sex. I don’t understand this unless you meant “covert” way, i.e. a secret or hidden way of talking about sex. “Coveted” means “highly valued and desired.”
Williams Godwin – (Figure of Speech) June 4, 2021
The thoughts on the site stole my night, and I didn’t mind, for it’s fun reminiscing those wonderful figures of speech.
Wendy Cunliffe – (when life gives you lemons) May 31, 2021
If life gives you lemons, give them back and demand chocolate instead.
Gagan Kaur Maan – (Prepositions) May 31, 2021
It’s a wonderful n brilliant explanation of prepositions I have learnt so many things from this brief introduction. I obviously suggested most of the masses to read and learn something new.
Kishor Bharucha – (think outside the box) May 29, 2021
A comparatively easy puzzle and requires out of box thinking.

Mark – (like father like son) May 28, 2021
It was used even earlier than 14th or 17th century A.D. It is the Bible – Ezekiel 16:44, “Like mother, like daughter,” and expresses the same idea as “Like father, like son.” Ezekiel was written anywhere between 593 B.C. and 571 B.C. So, it’s at least 2,600 years old.
Deborah Sue Mitchell – (high on the hog) May 28, 2021
Good to know , I always though the phase was in reference to a person of wealth for other than the actual hog.
canilecanan – (just deserts) May 27, 2021
“At the end of the book the child’s true identity is discovered, and the bad guys get their just deserts.”
