To continue the game, here's one my dad taught me:
"My dogs are barking."
meaning: My feet are killing me. |
I would have never guessed that meaning. :)
Here is one that Ross Perot (presidential candidate in '92) seemed
fond of using:
That dog won't hunt.
Meaning: Something (such as a plan) won't work.
Perhaps someone else can explain it better.
