Thread Name: Folklore: Expression - a peck of dirt
Subject: RE: BS: Expression - a peck of dirt
I've heard the expression here in Oz too - our ex-next door neighbour used it 15-20 years ago, and I seem to remember also hearing it when my sons (now 29 and 32) were small. I'm not sure I remember it from my own childhood though.

Expressions spread far and wide, don't they!

Cheers
