Subject: BS: teaching grandmother to suck eggs
Hi...
----Don't try Teaching grandma to suck eggs -------
Can anyone out there explain this phrase... had some idea it might be something to do with old ladies and lack of false teeth in the 1800's - and the fact they had to literally suck eggs to eat them... but it this true... does anyone have a 'bulls notion' as to what the phrase is on about...
Will help to settle a debate if there is anyone who knows.
