A friend of mine asked me the other day if I was "settin' my cap" for someone....

Setting your cap is to fall in lurve and start flirting with them so they know you're into them. :sunglass:

It must have been The Wheel. Before that? Fire.
At least that is my take.

Caliginous [kuh-lij-uh-nuhs] - misty; dim; dark

*The long abandoned house had a caliginous aura.


I first heard this word as a child in the film The Wizard of Oz when the wizard refers to the Tin Man as a "clinking, clanking, clattering collection of caliginous junk". I asked my mom what it meant and she told me to look it up (apparently she did not know either). I remember deciding that it didn't really fit in that sentence and was only put there for the alliteration. That has always bothered me.

personal fave
 
What in the Sam Hill?!

Sam Hill is an American English slang phrase, a euphemism or minced oath for "the devil" or "hell" personified (as in, "What in the Sam Hill is that?"). Etymologist Michael Quinion and others date the expression back to the late 1830s
(Wikipedia)



Criminy!
