dark everyday expressions...

[ulala06]

ever actually think about things we say as children or everyday?

examples:

fairy tales... 2 children abandoned to be eaten by a witch? a giant who grinds your bones to make bread?

"ring around the rosies" is about the bubonic plague!

"cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye" ?!?!


does anybody know of any other common phrases that are really dark?

"GIMME THAT (insert item here) OR I'LL F***IN KILL YOU!!!"

In a coons age: doesn't mean anything bad to blacks, back in the day, coons were thought to live like 30+ years (although they really live about 15)

Cotton picking... eh that's funny to me (sorry if that offends anyone-bugs bunny says it!)

Maybe it was intended to be understood as "I love you until I/you die"

How about Pacman? He consumes the undead and says "wicca wicca wicca"

"London bridge is falling down" ... Yay?

Jack and Jill broke their heads open (well, at least Jack did). So did Humpty... and he's not necessarily an egg, it never said he was in the story.
