The Origins of Commonly Spoken Phrases
I have often wondered about some of the pat phrases we say and the meanings behind them and their origins. Some imply different thoughts today than they did years or even centuries ago. Some historians say it's all a bunch of hogwash. Hogwash...hogwash? Didn't they say that back in the day of jolly old king what's his name?
