Subject: RE: BS: Who are 'The Dickens'?
Hey, Ake: Thanks for that. I wondered whether the saying might have something to do with Charles Dickens.

Actually this thread is about any old sayings that no longer make a lot of sense.

Thanks for bringing it back to my first example.

The proof is in the pudding. (Exactly WHERE in the pudding is it?)
