Old sayings that you learned from your parents or grandparents... |
|
I just posted one on GD and it got me thinking...where do these sayings come from, is there any truth to them?
I posted "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." I'm also remembering "A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush."
What does "take it with a grain of salt" mean? Do you guys have any favorites and an explanation of where they came from?
