Today we’re shaking a leg. We’ve already talked about the language of the body from the head to the chest. Now we’re going down below. Featuring guts for garters, the heart’s eye, chancing your arm, pickpockets pulling your leg, hepcats, gamblers with cold feet, making a fist of it, the origin of the rule of thumb, vile bile, letting it all spew out and some more lalochezia. A Somethin’ Else production.
Susie’s Trio of Words:
Nepenthe: a drink or potion to bring forgetfulness of all your worries.
Solastalgia: the emotional and physical stress caused by environmental change .
Cacafuego: a fire shitter.
