OK all you "Wordies" out there .... to entice you in, I am going to try to leave a trail of delicious word questions you cannot resist!
Now here's a nice expression : "In Fine Fettle" ... meaning everything is going well, all tickety-boo (another odd phrase) ...
Where do all these phrases come from?
Fine fettle is an old New Englandism to the best of my knowledge, and tickety-boo is English I think.
Do you know any phrases meaning everything is percolating along just fine that are indigenous to your area?
HAve you heard some odd phrases that you'd like to share?
What are they?
