 Re: Do English know these PROVERBS? Do they use them at all?
When I was at school in the '50s we had a book called 'First Aid in English' full of outlandish expressions that the author believed were colloquial. We were given lists to learn as homework. The list that started this string is reminiscent of those - they (mostly) sound as if they may have been current once, but I have never heard them actually used.
