A stupid Grin on my face ,,,,,
Yes we can sometimes say the weirdest things ,,,
Many years ago my late mother`s family doctor , who was already in his
late 70 , met my mother and she Joyfully tells him that Mrs so and so
was so delighted that he spent time in her bed,,,, [my mother meant to
say besides her bed ],,,
And of course the Multi-lingual societies,,, give loads of Hilarious
expressions ..
Miskafayim are glasses , and michnasayim are pants ....One day , a
friend of my mother, who was quite new in Israel , sat on her
balcony , when a man wearing dark sun glasses, called a greeting to
her from the street. She looked, didn`t recognize him, so she called
back ,,, "If you take off your
michnasayim i will probably recognize you !!!!." ......

Default OT but too funny!!!!

Years ago when my sister was teaching English composition to freshmen
at University of Georgia, she had an in-class writing exercise of
metaphor, which is describing one item or incident in terms of another
-- such as describing a subway as an earthworm. One rather shy young
lady had apparently gone on a date with a young man who tried to get
amorous, and she described him as an octopus. Unfortunately, she
referred to his "grasping testicles"!

Quite a long time according to the O.E.D.
The first entry is dated 1205, and
by 1836 it is used in the current sense
as Mystified One used it.
