Sayings, and where did that saying come from?

[dan filipi]

My bright idea was to start this thread with where the saying "Down the road a piece" came from but I can't find it anywhere.

Must be a Texan saying, gotta find a Texas dictionary I guess?

I think the "down the road a piece" came from a post I made earlier..... oh2:
:smilie_happy:

Actually, I've heard that phrase pretty much all my life. In the old days, anywhere you wanted to go was always down the road a piece....now it's pretty much just across the road.

Down the road a piece is how many sees?

One of my favorites is "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" Eleanor Roosevelt

" Down the road a piece" Was actually a song in the 40's according to a quick google search.

"Underway on nuclear power"
On January 17, 1955, Commanding Officer Eugene P. Wilkinson of the U.S.S. Nautilus (SSN 571) declared, "Underway on nuclear power." Thus began a new era in submarine warfare and a race between the United States and the Soviet Union for superiority under the sea.
I like getting under way......... :music2:

Father must have been military. Fart sack is a sleeping bag in Army slang.
