Thread Name: Strange expressions..
Subject: Strange expressions..
Not really a folk question but I wonder if anyone can help. I've just been doing a crossword and one of the solutions was 'No skin off my nose'. Now this is a common expression but it got me thinking - where on earth does it originate? Why should it be used to mean that someone isn't too bothered about something. Anyone out there know the answer as it's just bugging me today!!
