To let you off the hook, it's bated breath .

PS Isn't it more properly "bleu" cheese, or is that considered snobbish?

JavanLuke, the first one and a half year I contributed my pedantries here I feared I would be killed over each post I made. Then as a grandmother of four I find it really more important to be seen as human than as man or woman. You may even condsider I might take your 'mistake' as a compliment.

Bated breath might be "correct" but it's not near as much fun as baited breath.

>not near as much fun
oh, I dunno.. this one we do seem to have old WS to thank for: With bated breath, and whispering humbleness.. - The Merchant of Venice
bated breath: breathing subdued or restrained under the influence of awe, terror, or other emotion (how cool is *that)

Not near as cool as having a hunk of bl(ue,eu) cheese with a worm in it on your tongue.

And welcoming newbies in a PM, which I do as I see their names appear on the column to the right, is a way to get them started, and not be intimidated by those with so many more posts. Thanks again, Bran, for your understanding and your kind words in your PM.

And, Branny-Granny, just the other day on the news they showed where some fishermen had fallen through the ice into the frigid water below; so still, thanks but no thanks for me!
