The phrase is supposed to have originated in England in the 17th century when city streets were filthy and heavy rain would occasionally carry along dead animals. \n\nThe idea that seeing dead cats and dogs floating by in storms would cause people to coin this phrase is just about believable. People may not have actually thought the animals had come from the sky, but might have made up the phrase to suit the occasion.

I have no idea of the context, but this is the translation:\n"you, la Bruyère and Tori cannot judge me. Leave the table of multification to God"\nThat last part does not make sense to me. May be the "table of multification" is a french expression for something like "final judgement". \nGreetings from Holland!

"Who chose cake?"\n\nIt's exact etymology is unclear but this much is certain: the British coined the phrase. \n\n"The first documented appearance of the term is in 1943, in an small book of British military slang, although sources claim it was used in the RAF throughout World War Two, and was originally a Yorkshire dialect term in use at least since 1914."

It means stay out of my life. Can't remember the origin, probably the 80's.

The phrase originally meant to kill all opponents in a battle.\n\nHowever, the phrase is also used commonly to mean to do whatever you can to win. For instance, when you take no prisoners in the business world, you will lie, cheat and steal to get ahead of the competition.

I don't know if there's much etymology of the phrase, but here's an article about it which puts forth some interesting possibilities of the origin.\n\nQuote from the site:\n\n"Some linguists and historians think the expression must have been well known during the war years, citing a story about General Eisenhower's dog. The story goes that the dog (Felix) urinated on a map and the officers joked that the enemy was "pissed off." (Leonard Mosely, Marshall, 1982)."

Everyone is wrong except the guy who said it was from Anglo-Saxon.  "F..k" has a long pedigree in the Germanic languages.  It was found in Proto-Germanic about 2500 years ago as the verb *fukan 'have intercourse'.  This was not vulgar at that time and was a euphemism for some older word.  Ultimately, it comes from Proto-Indo-European *pug- "to strike", from which we get the borrowed Latin form pugilism 'boxing'.

I believe it's originally from the movie "A Cry In the Dark" with Meryl Streep, when the dingos in Australia attacked the baby.  This was a very tearful movie.  But I must say, that in the Seinfield episode when "Elaine" said "The dingos ate your baby" to the obnoxious woman, with her Aussy accent...it was hilarious!

Easter comes from a pagan celebration for the coming of spring.(early christians adopted the celebration so more pagans would become christian).  the rabbit symbolized fertility along with eggs.  I have no clue where the whole chocolate thing came from.

i have never heard of that expression.  i believe it may be a combination of the sayings \n"heaven forbid" (i hope it does not happen) and \n"perish the thought" (don't even think about it).  \nwhoever used that expression probably meant to use one of those sayings.  they are similar in meaning.

Hmn... fun fun fun!\n\nOn one hand, we don't like chocolate. That's because that's how our tastebuds are made, in terms of sensitivity to pH level. On the other hand, we choose the lives we live and how we will live them before we live them. On the other hand, we have to do it until our soul learns enough. On the other, it's our soul's choice for when it wills itself into existence.\n\nChoice - the ability to decide to do one thing over another without being forced.

Really, it means you can't leave the cake intact (and enjoy it in that way) and also eat it (and enjoy it in that way) since by eating it you are cutting it.\nThis is a perfectly fine expression.  Explain the meaning to your friend.

I've forgotten the exact details of the story,but once there was a man who for one reason or another was being unjustly hanged in Dublin.The hangman didn't tie the noose properly and instead of breaking his neck,the man slowly choked,hanging there.His wife begged for him to be released,but the only thing that the cruel judge would allow was for her to pull on his leg,speeding up his choking,and killing him faster.That's where the term comes from.
