>n US we have an expression when we win -- we walk away with "all the marbles."
Any connection? ...comments?Well, also in the US people sometimes say "He seems to have lost his marbles" in reference to not being very smart or when one has done something stupid. And if it is a combo of half stupid/half smart it is "He seems to be missing half his marbles" SO could it mean that when you win "you walk away with all the marbles" means that perhaps "you've got what it takes to win whatever----"????
