Yesterday , I was very surprised that no one had heard of the term "open fall" . That made me think about it's origin.
Now I should have gone to Mr Google before I wrote the post. Well, guess what? Mr. Google hasn't heard of "open fall" either.
So now I wish Dad was here so that I could ask him if he knew the origin of the saying. He would probably say, "I have no idea where it comes from".
So I remember another term Dad used. If someone was feeling out of sorts...grumpy he would use the term "crakin around". Usually it was Mother who got described with this term.
Okay, I said, "I'll be smarter this time and check with Mr Google." I was sure Mr google would have this term.
Well, you guessed it. Mr Google has never heard of this term either.
I'm wondering if these were terms that Dad made up himself. ? Dad had a good vocabulary and was an avid reader.
Has any body heard the term "crakin around"?
