There are a lot of phrases out there, and “sayings” that people toss around.  Some they even claim to “live” by.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”
“Not worth a plugged nickel.” Those are all worth comparisons….. and there are many more.. not worth mentioning.

But what the heck… I’ll continue.   People then go all crazy for them, like “feathering their nests” and “stealing someone’s thunder.” They’ll “cast the first stone”… “do things by the seat of their pants”….. “turn over a new leaf”…. and on occasion, even “pull some strings.” They can be “on the ball”…”on the wagon”….. or even “on the warpath.”

I could go on for days….. but I’ll put a cork in it now.  But is any of this ringing a bell?

Okay, finally, the one that scared me… horribly….. when I was a child:

“There’s more than one way to skin a cat.” (Probably because someone let it out of the gosh-darn bag.)

You know, a little bird told me that this episode has gone to the dogs.

That’s the tail end of this, I’ll tell you.  Over and out.
