The Rest of the Story....

Radio personality Paul Harvey used to have an daily two-part radio show....remember when he'd start his show in the morning with an interesting little heard of or even a more well known story? Then come back in the late afternoon to finish his radio show by giving radio listeners The rest of the story???

Paul Harvey coined this term for his radio show and when it's used in everyday vernacular, the iconicity of his radio personality is immediately associated with this phrase (indexicality).

A Black Cat crossing your path is bad luck.

Never really understood this one but I think it comes from Middle Ages when an old unmarried woman crossing your path was bad luck and great "burnable" material.

No permanent or lasting effects will occur as a result; things will normalize over time. A lie or other secret will be uncovered eventually.

It's a wash.

"Hurry Up Slowpoke" or..."Come Along Slowpoke"




Someone who moves or does things in a particularly slow or sluggish manner; someone who is or has been dawdling.

Get your ass in gear.

"Shake A Leg"..................





To get a move on! Hurry Up.Make a start; rouse oneself.

"Hurry Up And Wait" .......


Is a humorous phrase used to refer to the situation in which one is forced to hurry in order to complete a certain task, or arrive at a certain destination, by a specified time; only for nothing to happen at that time, often because other required tasks are still awaiting completion.

Move quickly and then have to wait for something or someone else.

I say that all the time. Haha.😊
