"Delicate Genius"........... A highly touted professional (such as a doctor or lawyer) who would not think of talking business outside of business hours. A professional who should never be asked questions outside of his/her offices confines. |

.....Tabula Rasa.....
Greek translation of this phrase generally means to have a clean slate....the idea that any something exists first in an unmarked, unblemished or without previous impression. It can also mean, for some, the chance to begin anew or start anew. (I like this phrase a lot and feel it's very useful, positive, true).

I believe so, homoe. Lots of people use this particular expression in that way. But if you look up the Greek translation, it's thought to mean something in its unmarked state of consciousness.... Like a newborn human being, for example.

"My Dogs Are Barking" ............
If your dogs are barking, this means that your feet are hurting. Sidebar: There is a brand of shoe called "Hush Puppy" and it's named that as a reference to the expression, "My dogs are barking." In the case of the shoe, Hush Puppies are supposedly so comfortable they can quiet your puppies - that is, stop your feet from hurting. |

According to what I found this is an old expression, typically associated with the South and especially concentrated around the Appalachian Mountain chain. Older usage didn't connote smelly or dirty feet, just sore feet. |

You know, late last night, it came to me that my late grandmother always wore hush puppy shoes for her role at work as an head dietician. Back in the day, I'd say it was early 1960s, no shoe retailer made shoes for women to wear that felt comfortable for women....especially women who were on their feet all day long. Even early models of nursing shoes were not comfortable at all...because it was nearly 1973 before my mother could find a comfortable shoes to wear. Both my mother and her mother worked long hours on their feet in both their roles as an dietician and nurse. So, even I couldn't find shoes comfortable enough to wear in all the years I worked in my former career, but I could never ever find a pair of hush puppies that would fit my feet. I'm tall, my feet are sort of long, but not too wide... I'm a "B" or "C" width. Mom and grandmother had fairly little feet, which worked perfectly for them to buy a pair or three of hush puppies. Thanks for jogging my memory, homoe

.....A Bone of Contention.....
Using this phrase of expression generally means that there is an ongoing issue of disagreement which is not easily solved or, worst case scenario, is never solved.

"Be Still My Heart"...............
An exclamation that something is too exciting or overwhelming for one to bear; literally, that it is causing one's heart to beat too fast. In modern usage, it is almost always used sarcastically to imply that something is actually mundane, uninteresting, or unappealing. |
