Colorful Similes in American Language Often Traced To Meat and Livestock Chiraco 'P English is i meaty language. For example, you can 50 whole hog and take th bull by the horns. You can also bring hom the bacon. Of course you mifht rale a cold shoulder, in which else you'd do some beefing. Long before jive-talk, Ameri cans were coining colorful simi les about meat and livestock. Old Phrasw According to the magazine National Live Stock Producer, ome of these phrases date back 300 years. Others were Imported nd go back to antiquity. Here's how some of the best known sayings began: Great horn spoon-a phrase de noting soup ladles, strainers and mixing spoons once carved from the horns of cows or sheep. In the 1R50. somebody adopted it as a mild cuss word which could be used in the presence of ladies. Hell for leather-The beating a leather saddle takes when a eowpoke rides at top speed. End of your rope-farmers used to stake horses and cows out to pasture on a rope. The animals grazed in a circle around the stake. When they came to the end of ihe rope they obviously eould go no farther. Big Money Whole hog-In colonial days a hilling was nicknamed a "hog." Later the American dime was given the same name. Prices were lower then, and when a fellow spent a "whole hog" he was living It up. Cut a dido-Dido, the mythical queen who founded Carthage, agreed to settle only as much land as she could enclose with a bull's hide. So she cut the hide j into hair-like cords long enough to encircle enough land to build the city of Carthage. Synonym for Actor Hammy . Ministrel singers rubbed their faces with burnt cork for Nego impersonations. Later the synonym for mediocre actor became simply, "ham." Bring home the bacon-Bacon was esscntinl family fare, and the ability to bring it home in dicated a steady income. The monks of Dunmow in Essex, England, would give bacon to any man who knelt before the church door and swore that "for 12 months and a day, I have never had a household brawl nor wished myself unmarried." 1 Union Pacific To I Have Traffic Control Portland tp A program for installation of centralized traf fic control on the Union Pacific railroad s main line in western Idaho and eastern Oregon was announced today by Union Pac ific officials.
