How about...

"loose as a goose"

!

I've actually found a couple of explanations regarding this one:

1. Really Drunk: An intoxicated person, Loose as a Goose

2. Referring to a female and her vagina after so much sex: After sleeping with all the guys on the block, she ended up loose as a goose

How about...
he's "Right as rain"

The allusion in this simile is unclear, but it originated in Britain, where rainy weather is a normal fact of life, and indeed W.L. Phelps wrote, “The expression 'right as rain' must have been invented by an Englishman.” It was first recorded in 1894.

Sorry, couldn't find anything more about this one

[wagerjunction]

How about...

"**** fire, save matches!"

I've been saving this one for last as it tokk me the most trouble to find and the answer is still not clear.

Common consensus is that this expression was used by early americans and simply means "wow!"

In Texas it could also be translated as "I'll be damned!"

Not very conclusive still...

Got a few more by the way:

- Living high off the hog

- Slow as molasses

- Grinnin' like a mule eatin' briers

The expression “smells like a French whore” has its origins in the nineteenth century. In fact, at the time, some French were infamous for not bathing, especially the prostitutes of Paris. As a result, they would smell really bad because of perspiration, and because they were not hygienic they would also catch some diseases, so they used to perfume themselves with a very strong cheap kind of perfume to cover up the smell.

How Gross!!!!......sounds like their vagina's could actually grow loaves of bread when they have a yeast infection! LOL.....

But the question still remains....how loose is a goose? How is the looseness of their female organ measured to determine its "loose"??????......is this another farmer brown job??? He could have a small penis, therefore making the illusion that the goose is loose? HAHAHAHAHA

Haha, you just reminded me about that "Rent for appartment" joke I read some time back. Let me see if I can find it for you.............be right back

Here we go...

A young man met a beautiful girl and agreed to spend the night with her for $500. So they did. Before he left, he told her that he did not have any cash with him, but that he would have his secretary write a check and mail it to her, calling the payment "Rent for Appartment".

On the way to his office he regretted what he had promised, deciding that the whole event was not worth the price. So, he had his secretary send a check for $250 and enclosed the following note:

Dear Madam, Enclosed find check in the amount of $250 for rent of your apartment. I am not sending the amount agreed upon because when I rented the apartment I was under the impression that: 1) it had never been occupied; 2) that there was plenty of heat; 3) that it was small enough to make me cozy and feel at home. Last night, however, I found it had been previously occupied, that there was no heat, and it was entirely too large.

Upon receipt of the note, the girl immediately returned the check for $250 with the following note: Dear Sir, First of all, I cannot understand how you expect a beautiful apartment to remain unoccupied indefinitely.

As for the heat, there is heat if you know how to turn it on. Regarding the space, the apartment is, indeed, of regular size, but if you don't have enough furniture to fill it, please don't blame the landlady!

"Break a leg" meaning "Good luck" - where does this one come from?!? I get nervous when someone says "break a leg" to me before I play football!!

I also don't know why, but with those who are in theater they prefer to use "break a leg" than good luck. Why is that so?

[davenewgates]

Good thing i have no problems like that as of now and hope not to! But goodluck on your operation, get back as soon as you've recovered!

[CasinoTom]

just used the phrase 'left in the lurch' and had a realization that I had no idea what a 'lurch' was and how you'd leave someone in one.

So did a little bit of research and apparently it's an old English word for 'corpse'...lovely

Oh Dave, you've gone and gutted me now

I'm hurt that you didn't read my previous post about this. Oh well, I like you so I will say again "The expression "break a leg" reflects a theatrical superstition in which wishing a person "good luck" is considered bad luck. "
