Useful Phrases

[RodTungsten]

While I decide on 2-post vs. 4-post lifts I thought that I would start to collect some useful phrases for my grandchildren.

I have a few already:
Let the dog see the rabbit
I’ll give you a thick ear
I’ll knock you into the middle of next week
Home James and don’t spare the horses
You do/don’t have a dog in that fight
and others like these……
