    "Three sheets to the wind"
    it's an old nautical expression. A sheet was, surprisingly, the rope holding a sail, not the sail itself. If sheets were flapping in the wind then obviously they weren't holding their sails down and the ship would bob about like a drunken sailor.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
  • 'Better late than never...'

    Clearly this is not always the case, therefore does it deserve to be a catch-all proverb applicable to every situation?

    How about "Mad as a wet hornet"

    Can you tell that they are more upset when they are wet?

    Only the dry ones have actually stung me.

    I'm pretty sure they're 'slippery when wet'... and then they die. :)

    "she eats like a bird" to describe someone who eats very little. Don't birds eat something like twice their body weight or something? (Don't want to take the time to look it up, but I know it's a lot..lol)

    Also, when people describe something as a "pigsty" if it's messy...and pigs are actually "neat". (I don't know how one measures the neatness of a pig's living habits, lol, but I've heard this on more than one occasion.)

    How about "Fuck like a rabbit"

    Who actually did that research, sick bastard...
  • Well fuck, that would piss me off too

    Dude I think we've found the meaning of the phrase... :eek: We did it together man. I'm actually feeling quite emotional right now. Don't look at me...

    Some on here once said he/she slept like a drunk baby, I've used this expression ever since.

    Pigs are filthy animals. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal.
