It helps the really weak joke if the real answer isn't visible. Oh no it doesn't! Oh yes it does! |

Registered 17 years agoSorry Salaman. I think we decided anything more than 2,000 years old no longer needs spoiling as everyone should know it by now. You are safe if you want to read about Constantine the Great though as we will be spoilering their story for another 300 odd years

Registered 17 years agoIt's pushing up daisies. It means dead and buried. The assumption being you are beneath the ground and pushing the plants up out of it or I guess fertilising them.
As for daisy cutter I only know that in regard to a type of bomb and that seems fairly self-explanatory.
A daisy chain is just a necklace type thing you can make our of daisy’s and often Children do this. It sort of makes sense its a saying for connecting lots of like things togther though to me.
Do you not have daisies where you are from? Just wondering how universal the daisy is.

I thought a Daisy Cutter was a reference to height when talking about bombs or weapons. Could be well wrong.
A daisy-chain is also an after-hours public schoolboy activity.
(The stuff about 'early doors' metal sheets was a lie, in case anyone believed it, btw. The copper-bottom bit is sort of true, I think) -
I thought Daisy Cutter was a cricket thing i.e. a ball that rolls along the ground. I suppose it could have originated as a bomb thing in the same sense. -
Daisy cutter varies. In sport it might mean a ball (bowled, kicked, thrown etc) that bobbles along the ground/moves largely on the ground. Usually disparaging, I.e in cricket.
As a bomb it means to flatten vegetation, often for engineering purposes as much as destruction.

I think you're right - I think cricket was the origin. Must be a British expression then?

Registered 18 years agoThanks for all the replys guys.
A Daisy in swedish is called Tusensköna wich makes it rather too long to use in any sayings. -

Registered 14 years agoPush the envelope.
What is this envelope, who is pushing it, in which direction, and why?
Is the envelope being pushed towards someone, or are its contents so voluminous that they stretch spacetime fabric, thus expanding the envelope in new and exciting directions? -

Denotes inexperience or naivete, but why. Is it because when a baby is born it's covered in blood and placenta? But then it's not just behind the ears, it's everywhere. -

It's to do with inexperienced fellatiates turning their head away just as the money shot occurs. This usually leads to a load behind the ear. Hence the expression.

Yer, envelope as a contextual set of limits than a container, and hammer & tongs is blacksmithin' banging. -

Registered 13 years agoblowjob. What's the deal with that? You don't blow, you suck. Blowing is actually dangerous. -
Cos hookers do it for blow (the drug)? I dunno. I just made that up.
