If I remember right the US had a 3 cent Nickel coin that was plugged with Silver. Maybe some coin collector has better knowledge of this.

Thats what I love about these old sayings, understanding the origins of them. Its like insight into history sometimes.
Dr. Phil is always good for some funny Texas sayings.
One time I heard him say to a pretty girl on the show "Your about as cute as a speckled pup." |

That one always piqued my curiosity. I don't know how long I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, holding a pout, or a grimace, just to see if it 'would take.' As little credit as I gave my parents sometimes, it's a wonder I survived. . . of course, my ex-Marine Corp drill sergeant Dad would've killed me before I had a real chance to do myself in with some of my stupidity or hardheadedness.
I'm kinda partial to when hell freezes. By my best guesstimate, it's happened time and again. |

My first husband told me this one.
She is on the Disorient Express headed for the Hotel Silly.
He of course was speaking of his Grandmother at the time.

Oh, but I love it. Sounds exactly like something my dear sweet husband might say about me. Will you DM him this one?  |
