Write down a phrase and then explain it. For there might be
some none of us have heard of.

Bold it so it can be seen better

"The early bird gets the worm"

This mean if you start your day early then you get to
acheive more than a person who starts his day much later???


who uses phrases anyway? if someone said "Well dana, the
early bird gets the worm" i'll probably laugh.

"Wee apples grow again"

My Grandad is always using this one, I'M not 100% sure what
it means but I think it is something along the lines of
"What goes around, comes around" :)

"Kettle calling the pot black"

Means to say something to someone, and for it not to apply
to yourself.....a hypocrite in other words!

Well I assume you are as you live there and Ceri plays on
your organ in your back room and he is Welsh. Just living
in Wales is enough to mess up you word organisation in
phrases. For example a welsh girl I know said to me "stop
and please dont do this" when she actually mean "do this and
please don't stop". I think the judge must have been Welsh
as well :(
