Random Thought

You ever think about where sayings come from, or what they originally meant?

The one currently in question is "...get a wild hair up my butt." Growing up, I always thought and spelled it as above. It really doesn't make much sense. I mean, the meaning is conveyed and all, but still, it doesn't make much sense.

A while back, and I really don't know why, it came to me that what if it was originally, "...a wild hare up my butt." While a little more graphic, it seems to make more sense.

There are many other sayings that I always find odd to see in print. As soon as I say that, though, I'm pressed to find a one to put down. The only one I can think of is 'buck naked' or 'buck naked'. It seems to come down to where you were raised as to which you use.

Anyways... Like it says above, random thought.
