If you are pretty sure something is about to happen...

You have a sneaking suspicion

Good one Jane

Hi Ramnel
Keep your shirt on

Don't lose your cool or temper.

Been around for years, mentioned as early as the 1850's in America.

It was thought it came from times when those who got annoyed took their shirts to fight.  And theey were advised not to fight and keep their shirts on.

That reminds me of one I've heard all my life...

He's so generous he'd give you the shirt off his back!

Hi Jane
I like that one!

My Mother in Law used to say quite often...

Okie (remember him? )had a similar on all his posts.  "The good Lord willing and the creek don't rise"

I remember and miss his posts!

Hi Rammel
Yes I only posted with Okie for a short time.

He won't be forgotten

Kelly

I remember Okie Bloke!  I miss his postings.  He was one of a kind!

Okay how about...

One of a kind!

It was a familiar saying in my family the way Okie said it "The good Lord willing and the creek don't rise".

899 - One of a kind

Tennessee Ernie Ford had a similar saying about the "creek don't rise" but I don't remember enough to quote it.

Hi Rammel
Stick Your Neck Out

Is basically taking a risk.

But it is thought it comes from many, many  years ago and about capital punishment.

Hi Rammel
Yes early retiring last night as a bit of business to see to today.

Hi Rammel

Push the Boat Out

The saying came from seafarers from about the 1930's when someone bought a round of drinks.

But now it means if we spend a bit more money than we want to, like an extravagant purchase.

Also breaking  a bottle over the bows of a ship to launch it and maybe a drink after to celebrate the launch.
