I have always wondered how the term "Gordon Bennett" came about
For example, I believe 'at sixes and sevens' originally came from this: -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Stool_Chart
The phrase had also been used previously by Chaucer in a text
Rule of thumb - before the 19th century you were allowed to beat your wife with a stick as long as it was no thicker than your thumb.
Anyone knows the origins of
"Oh for f*cks sake Harrold !!!" ???
