Always a bridesmaid,
never a bride
This phrase, surprisingly, was used
to sell Listerine mouthwash! To pro-
mote their product, the manufactur-
ers of Listerine employed the per-
sonal experience of girls at the time,
who desperately wanted to settle
down but seemed always to be left
on the shelf. First used in the
1920’s, it portrays a situation and a
possible explanation for the lack of
success these girls had.
Here is the transcript of the ad: Poor
Edna was getting on for thirty and
most of her girlfriends were either
already married, or about to tie the
knot. How she wished that, instead
of being their bridesmaid, she could
be the bride! However, any romance
of hers invariably ended quickly.
There was a reason. Unbeknownst to
her, she suffered from bad breath and
no one would tell her, not ever her
closest friends. The advertisement
sold millions of bottles of mouth-
wash and also gave the English lan-
guage a new saying!
Bark up the wrong tree.
Originating back when hunting was
still a major sport, this phrase came
from when animals were used to
track, catch or retrieve prey. This ap-
plies, not least, to dogs. Dogs were
used in the chasing of raccoons,
which was chiefly undertaken at
night and were trained to indicate the
tree in which the animal had taken
refuge by barking at it. Of course,
even dogs can err and, at times,
barked up the wrong tree.
Beat Around the Bush.
Someone who doesn’t get to the
point is said to ‘beat around the
bush’. The origin of this phrase is,
undoubtedly, from hunting, and more
specifically from the hunting of
boars. A ferocious animal, it often
hid in the undergrowth and beaters
were employed and ordered to go
straight in to chase it out. But very
much aware, and afraid, of the ani-
mals’ sharp tusks, they much pre-
ferred to merely ‘beat around the
bush’ a practice strongly disapproved
of by their masters.
Bite the Bullet.
A person who ‘bites the bullet’, with-
out any sign of fear, acts with great
courage in the face of adversity. The
phrase recollects a dangerous army
practice in the 1850s. Soldiers were
then equipped with the British En-
field rifle. Cont. on Page 2

Hey, do you want to go to a

Sure, let me check my

Did you know…It is estimated that
around one million of creatures from
the sea are killed by plastic garbage
and bags which are thrown in the
oceans. There is a huge patch of gar-
bage on the ocean which is twice as
big as Texas and it has over 3.5 mil-
l ion tons of plas t ic in i t . Did you know...When it comes to
paper, an average American is said to
consume approximately 650 pounds
per year. If all the paper would be
recycled, around one hundred million
tons of wood would be saved.
Please recycle when possible.
Prior to using it, they had to bite
off the head of the cartridge to ex-
pose the explosive to the spark
which would ignite it. The proce-
dure was fraught with danger, par-
ticularly so in the heat of battle. It
needed firmness and courage, as
even the slightest deviation or hesi-
tation would endanger the soldier.
Break a Leg. To wish an actor prior to his going
on stage to ‘break a leg’ is a well-
known practice. A pretty strange
wish, actually it is meant magically
to bring him luck and make sure
that his performance will be a suc-
cess. From the superstitious age it
was thought that jealous forces,
always present, are only too anx-
ious to spoil any venture. A good
luck wish would alert and provoke
them to do their evil work, whilst a
curse will make them turn their at-
tention elsewhere. The underlying
principle is the belief that if you
wish evil, then good will come. I’m
sure it’s called reverse psychology
these days.
Bury the Hatchet.
To bury the hatchet means to create
peace. With hostilities at an end,
the hatchet was no longer needed,
and therefore could be disposed of.
Now a merely figurative expres-
sion, the phrase is based on an ac-
tual practice of North American
Indians. When negotiating peace,
they buried all their weapons; their
tomahawks, scalping knives and
clubs. Apart from showing their
good faith, simultaneously it made
it impossible for them to go on
fighting.

The Hottest Baby Names of 2012 So Far...
http://www.huffingtonpost.com
The hottest baby names 2012—those those attracting the biggest spikes in views on Nameberry for the first six months of this year -- are an astonishing group: Highly unusual yet strangely familiar, heavily influenced by pop culture yet boldly individualistic. The strongest baby name influences
right now: “Hunger Games”, “Game of Thrones” and ancient Rome. Many of the hot names relate to nature and to worlds be-yond our own. And most share a transcendence of traditional gen-der identity, containing elements of names for the opposite gender if not crossing over to unisex ter-ritory. Nameberry’s hottest names so far this year, based on over six million views of our indi-vidual name pages, are: Senna, Niall, Arya, Decimus, Caia, Gatsby, Blue, Sybil, Calix, Hal-cyon, Django, Nova and Theon.
