Due to my father and also where we've lived, I've picked up some phrases that aren't common currency in the wider world. Things like my heart bleeds peanut butter I know I can blame on [livejournal.com profile] aefenglommung.

But yesterday, complaining about something on World of Warcraft, I said that those things "stink on ice". Someone else on the channel immediately said that they'd never heard that phrase before.

I'm pretty sure that one is also one that I picked up from [livejournal.com profile] aefenglommung, but now I'm wondering if that's so and also where it came from originally. My guess is something to do with fish at market, myself.

I'm also curious about what other interesting phrases are out there. Got a few?

Some examples from my own life )

The first suggestion of all this I came across was when [livejournal.com profile] aefenglommung posted a while back that Fred Thompson should run for President.

Since then, the idea has been gaining some ground, it seems.

Gallup Poll results- what happens when you add Thompson's name to the list.
Right Wing News- polling from conservative blogs

And there's a website- Draft Fred Thompson '08
