If your feet hurt, they say your dogs are barking. Tonight it's my ankles. My ankles hurt, so what do they say?

My snakes are biting?
My geese are snapping?

Fun to see the Irish idiom "make a hames of" in a national news headline: https://www.rte.ie/news/2026/0417/1568809-odonovan-protests/

I wrote about the expression in 2012: https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2012/11/07/making-a-hames-of-it/

Today I learned what the expression "whet your appetite" really means: to "whet" is to sharpen a blade on a whetstone. Hence, "whet your appetite" literally means "sharpen your appetite", which could be translated to "prepare" or "make ready".

"This house comes complete with dry bar, wet bar, and a bar that is in an intermediary state between wet and dry so we call it a moist bar."

"Why do you say 'complete with?'"

"What?"

"You're intimating that all the houses that don't have a dry bar, a wet bar and a moist bar are incomplete."

"It's just a way of speaking."

"Well... it is a nonsensical way of speaking, if you ask me."

"[Mumbling] Nobody asked."

"What's that?"

"*cough cough* I was clearing my throat."
