Question Expressions
There two expressions that I'd like to know the meaning:
"drive a nail of gold"
"put me back on mu pegs"
My student read these two expressions on Digest Reader's and asked me the meaning of them and I didn't know it!

Default Re: Expressions
Can you supply the context? I haven't heard either as expressions, but 'pegs' can mean 'legs'.
