Always wondered...
...if 'druthers' was formed from a combination of 'I would rather'....hmmm, kinda makes sense that it would.

'alienist' - the 19th century term for a psychiatrist when the science was in it's infancy. I got that from a fictional novel I read about the first documented serial killer in NYC. The title of the book was 'The Alientist' by Caleb Carr - a great read.

made up
I'm quite sure I made this one up...it is a cousin to "Frippery"
Friphoppery verb the action of being showy, frivolous, often bawdy, nonessential. "After a cocktail (or two) the evening proceeded with much friphoppery."

 Nope, all of that jumble was from my noggin. I've got more but it tends to come out when the situation warrants it. Quote:
 For Dapper's Google infactuation (I knew about the term but couldn't remember how it came to be): bird - woman or girlfriend - now unfortunately a rather unflattering term, but it wasn't always so; until recent times 'bird' was always an endearing term for a girl, derived from the Anglo-Saxon 'brid' which meant 'baby animal', in other words a cute little thing. The origin also gave us the word 'bride'. |

"You'll have to lick the calf over again" my grandmothers saying. She meant redo something until it's perfect. Because cows will bathe their calf over and over, as if they missed something. I don't know if this was a common saying or just a family or local saying.
