Well, at least for the moment, I know the answer to the age old question: is the Pope Catholic?
The last one probably shit in the woods
Have you ever read the Aubrey-Maturin novels? Cpt. Jack had a habit of unintentionally mixing euphemisms to great effect. Frankly I found it annoying because I had been intentionally doing it for years before I read O'Brian's novels and Jack did it so much better than I ever had.
Tell me he used 'we'll burn that bridge when we get to it,' because that's one of my favorites.
I'm afraid not. Though that's one of my favorites malapropisms. Like I said, O'Brian had almost twenty books to make Jack a master of saying the wrong thing just right.
I've read 4 of them, and have about ten in my library. It's a steady read, and feels like Tom Clancy for late 18th century.
"I don't know, mang. Where His Holiness does his business is his business."
i thought "does the pope shit in his hat" mean does he literally take his hat off, turn it upside down, then shit into it.
I thought it was a way of saying "No, obviously."
Fucking childhood.
