where did the term "farm club" originate?

probably becuase that's where future players are grown. Or becuase many minor league teams were in small farming communities.

A clodhopper is a term that has been around since the turn of the early 1900's.  It designates that a person is a rural farmer... who wearing farm boots for every day work also had to work out in the plowed fields and walk behind the horses or walk along the plowed furrows of earth and had to be careful not to trip over the large "clods" of dirt that the plows turned up... they had to be "clodhoppers" when they wallked in the fields so an not to trip and fall. \n\nIt became a derisive term that was applied to a rural naive and poorly educated person off the farm trying to make a go in the sophisticated city. The derisive term would later be applied to anyone who resembled this type of personality be they city or rural folk.  Many personalities on the Andy Griffity Show had characters that resembled... a clodhopper.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it originated with the Rolling Stones as they described their backstage parties for an interview of somesort. The saying has pretty much been adopted by every rock group and wannabe rocker eversince as a way of answering why they're in the music buisness.

Quoting from the Farmers Insurance company website\n\n"The Farmers Insurance Group of Companies was founded in 1928 when Farmers Insurance Exchange, an automobile insurer, was formed. As customer demand for additional insurance services increased, the Fire Insurance Exchange and Truck Insurance Exchange were established for home and commercial insurance needs. Today, the Farmers Insurance Group of Companies is the country's third-largest writer of both private passenger automobile and homeowners insurance."

There is a theory that links the modern word GOLF to the Scottish verb of GOULF (also gowf), which means "to strike or cuff." This theory would at least place the origin of the word with the people who invented the game. As for "striking or cuffing," an integral part of the game is, after all, hitting the ball.

Do you mean SERFS? They worked for the Lord of the Manor. Tilled his land several days a week, herded his animals, and whatever else needed doing around his manor.  It does not take place today - it's history.

That came from the farmland.Farmers work on their own machinery.When they tear a piece of equipment down they have to keep track of the nuts and bolts so they can put it back together.It was a long trip to town to try to find a new bolt or nut.Thus the phrase Nuts and Bolts.It has become as you know to be used in many different ways.

Someone on mindlesscrap.com tried to answer this, but I think they came up with a very inadequate answer:\n\n "The phrase started up in the 1980s by teens in the United States.  It's an offshoot of the use of the word "cool" that had been in existence since the 1940s.  That usage was associated with the cool jazz movement of the 1940s, especially Charlie Parker's 1947 record Cool Blues."\n\nI like my guess better:\n\nIt came from the Grateful Dead culture.  At each G.D concert, there'd be people who would serve up vegetarian fare and love.  Someone started saying that, inspired by the cold bean dish which made a great dip, and didn't require any extra fuel.
