1022 - pull someone's leg
1023 - He/She is good as gold

Hi!  Has "crimennutley" been used?  I think it means the same as "for crying out loud". 

" He - she, is not backward in coming forward....."

....meaning, not afraid in giving ones opinion.....

" I'll give it food for thought...."

....meaning, something worth seriously thinking about...

1024 - " He - she, is not backward in coming forward....."
1025 - " I'll give it food for thought...."
1026 - crying over spilt milk
1027 -For crying out loud.

My email spell checker liked "spilt"

" what’s good for the goose is good for the gander..."

Perhaps not as nice or relevant today, but my father who wielded his belt upon occasion used to warn us by asking "If we,(or you); were cruising for a bruising?" He never actually hit that hard, but it felt like it at the time. Especially if we had already had one at school!

Vanilla #415 what’s good for the goose is good for the gander

And there was me, thinking I was on a roll at last...

Oh well..." its back to the drawing room..." I suppose...

I don't ever remember being disciplined in those manners in school (home was another thing) but my dad told of having a ruler rapped across his fingers in school.  He did not see well, sat at the back of the classroom and did not have glasses at the time so it did not set well with him; he never had respect for that teacher.  As a teacher himself, I am sure he did not do anything like that to his students.  Come to think of it, most of his students were high school boys and probably many of them were bigger than he was.

I saw this on a show. A woman was talking about having hot flashes or as they said in the south, "Her own personal summer."
