Ashcan over tintype I've used this expression forever, and my three year old grandaughter thinks it's really funny. I'll say to her, if she's bouncing around "Careful, you'll go ashcan over tintype". Her mother finally called me on it when she said 'Mom, you know everything -- where did that expression come from?" So I turn to you for help!
