==================================

Today's Featured Humor : -) - 10 Strange Common Sayings - How They Originated

1. Scot Free

Many people think that this saying refers to Scottish people being tight with money - hence something being free, but in fact the word "scot" is an old Norse word which means "payment" - specifically a payment made to a landlord or sheriff. So this phrase - while meaning what most people think it means, has no connection to the Scottish people - it just means to get off without having to pay.

2 Fit as a Fiddle

This is another phrase where a single word has confused people - "fit" in the context of this saying does not mean "healthy" which is a 19th century definition. Its original meaning was "suitable" - and it is still used in that context in the sentence "fit for a king". As fit as a fiddle means "as appropriate as can be" - not "in excellent health". The first use of the phrase, incidentally, was in the 16th century and it was originally "as right as a fiddle".

3 Another Thing Coming

Common Saying: If you think that, you have another thing coming

This is a complete aberration of the original phrase because of the sound of English. The correct phrase is "if you think that, you have another think coming" - in other words, "what you think is wrong so think again". Because the "k" in "think" often ends up silent when saying "think coming" people have changed the phrase over time. Of course, "another thing coming" makes no sense at all. To illustrate how global this error is, when you google "another thing coming" it returns 139,000 results; when you google "another think coming" it returns a mere 39,000 results.

4 Eat Humble Pie

This phrase means "to be humble in apologizing for something." I was slightly reluctant to put it on the list because it actually does mean what people think it means, but there is still a misconception here; people think that this phrase means to eat a pie made of humbleness but it actually means to eat a pie made with umble (pictured above). Umble is an old English word for offal - the bits of the animal seldom eaten today (sadly). It was a pie that was normally eaten by the poor as the finer cuts of meat were left for the rich only. "To eat a humble pie" is an example of metanalysis (words being broken down into parts or meanings that differ from the original) as it sounds just like "to eat an umble pie". Other examples of this in English are "an apron" which used to be "a napron".

5 Rule of Thumb

People commonly think that this saying is a reference to a law allowing a man to beat his wife as long as he uses a rod no thicker than his thumb. It is, of course, completely untrue. There is no record of any judge in Britain ever making a ruling like this - or any lawmaker passing a law. The phrase actually refers to doing something by estimates - rather than using an exact measure.

6 On Tender Hooks

This phrase is very commonly misspelt. First off, what exactly is a tender hook? It doesn't seem logical does it? Well - that is because it isn't. The phrase is actually "on tenterhooks". A tenter was a medieval tool used for making cloth - the tenterhooks (pictured above) were small hooks to which the fabric would be stretched in the manufacturing process. To be on tenterhooks means to be left hanging - or to be in a state of suspense.

7 Take a Raincheck

This phrase is usually meant to mean "I won't do it now but I will later". This is the commonly accepted meaning (and has been for a long time) so it is now considered to be correct. It is included here merely out of interest because its original meaning was slightly different. Initially, a raincheck was offered to people who had tickets to a baseball game that was rained out - they would offered a "raincheck" which was a ticket for a game at a later date to make up for the missed game. This eventually found its way into shopping jargon in general where a raincheck was an offer to sell an out-of-stock good when it arrived back in stock. The meaning has eventually broadened to a point that it is not an offer any longer but a response.

8 Free Reign

This is a spelling error that leads to a misunderstanding - though the meanings remain the same fundamentally. Many people presume this phrase to mean that a person given free reign, has the "royal" power to do anything they want. In fact, the correct phrase is "free rein" and it comes from the days before cars when horses were used as our main mode of transport. When navigating a steep or winding path, one would relax the reins so that the horse could pick the safest path as he was more likely to do a better job than the rider.

9 Wreck Havoc

Havoc means chaos - and to wreck something is to put it into a state of chaos. So why would you make chaos out of chaos? You wouldn't. What you might do is wreak havoc though - because "to wreak" means "to cause to happen". The two words are pronounced differently - wreck sounds like "rek" while "wreak" sounds like "reek". It is a small - but common, error.

10. Beg the Question

Let's face it - 99% of people reading this list will not know the correct meaning of "beg the question", but that implies that the mistaken meaning should really be considered correct through common usage - so let us not fight about right or wrong - I will just state the facts: "to beg the question" does not mean "to raise the question". Originally the phrase was "to begge the question" and it appeared in English around the 1580s. It is a reference to a question (or phrase) which implies the truth of the thing it is trying to prove. Confusing? Okay - here is an example: "why does England have fewer trees per acre than any other country in Europe?" This is a "begged question" - the person asking is implying that England has fewer trees - when in fact, it may not. Another example is "he must be telling the truth because he never lies". Decartes was begging the question when he said "I think, therefore I am". Oh - and for those of you who are used to using the term in the wrong
way, consider using "prompt the question" as a correct alternative.

Strange Quotes About "Ambition":

"You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do." - Henry Ford

"An ounce of hypocracy is worth a pound of ambition." - Michael Korda

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." - Mark Twain

"Don't be afraid to take a big step. You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps." - David Lloyd George

Strange Quotes - "Classic Writing"

What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset. - Crowfoot, Blackfoot warrior and orator, 1890

Hold on to your divine blush, your innate rosy magic, or end up brown. Once you're brown, you'll find out you're blue. As blue as indigo. And you know what that means. Indigo. Indigoing. Indigone. - Tom Robbins

When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that exalted, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part. - George Bernard Shaw "Getting Married" (1908)

Today's Featured Humor : -) - Quiz: Are YOU the Annoying Co-worker?

Quiz: Are you the annoying co-worker?

By Kate Lorenz
CareerBuilder.com

July 29, 2005

Every office has at least one jerk, pest or loudmouth who drives the rest of the workers crazy.

Could it be you? Take this quiz to find out how annoying you might be:

How many of these statements describe you?

1. You make provocative statements to "foster dialogue" or needle others.

2. You often find yourself delivering a discourse consisting solely of buzzwords and catchphrases.

3. You make up nicknames for all your co-workers and refer to them only by these names. (e.g. "Good job, Chachi!"; "I'm going to have to disagree with you there, T-bone!")

4. Your office is completely decorated with your children's pictures and artwork.

5. You have plastered your cubicle with photos of yourself taken with famous people.

6. It is your trademark to recite rhyming or other cutesy messages as your voice mail greeting.

7. The questions you ask at meetings are preceded by long monologues of your views and accomplishments.

8. You routinely eat odoriferous lunches at your desk.

9. You bring in dishes that you tried to cook -- but didn't turn out quite right -- as "special treats" for your co-workers.

10. People seem tense -- even panic-stricken -- when they see you coming their way.

11. Others back away from you as you speak.

12. You send flurries of e-mails to the rest of the company telling them what you are doing. (e.g., "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the bathroom.")

13. You vigorously chew or pop your gum.

14. You wear strong perfume or cologne.

15. You assume your co-workers are fascinated by your personal problems and exploits.

16. You interrupt others while they are speaking or are deep in conversation.

17. You are moody and don't care who knows it.

18. You often give others assignments as they're walking out the door for lunch or to catch the train home.

19. You borrow staplers, scissors and tape from others' desks and forget to return them.

20. Your dialogue with others often end with the other person shouting, "You are so annoying!"

If you counted one or two, not to worry, you quickly can make changes before you're labeled a pest.

If your actions match three to five of these statements, take heed. You are on your way to becoming the source of many an eye roll.

If you do six or more of these on a regular basis, chances are you are already on the office watch list and have been anointed by your co-workers as annoying.

It's time to do a reality check and make some changes. Ask your boss and colleagues for feedback and be ready to listen. If what you hear doesn't fit your self-image, ask them to help you understand what they are saying by giving examples.

You might say: "Tell me more about what I do that leads you to believe that." Then listen, without arguing, defending or justifying your actions.

Remember, there are countless ways to aggravate co-workers -- you even can annoy them by trying too hard to please or being too nice. As long as you avoid the aforementioned behaviors, use your energy for the good of the organization and treat others as you would like to be treated, you should be all right.

And remember, it's perfectly OK to annoy others sparingly. It reminds them that you still exist.
