Origins of Words and Phrases [many errors]

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!! The following list consists of expressions that for one reason or another have personally interested me. This list wasn't simply copied and pasted from some other webpage. Prior to posting an explanation, I researched it until I was able to find at least two independent and credible references that agree. However, even with such diligence it appears I may have been mislead. I want to express my gratitude to Mr. Tom Oldani, who very kindly sent alternative explanations with references for many of the terms on this list. (Thanks, Tom!) I have posted these corrections below the original explanations. NEW! !! Murphy's Law: "If anything can go wrong, it will." In popular use for over half a century, controversy abounds as to the origins of this adage.

Old and Out of Shape

My goal for 2016 was to lose just 10 pounds. Only 15 to go. Ate salad for dinner! Mostly croutons & tomatoes. Really just one big, round crouton covered with tomato sauce. And cheese. FINE, it was a pizza. I ate a pizza. How to prepare Tofu: 1. Throw it in the trash. 2. Grill a steak . I just did a week's worth of cardio after walking into a spider web.

Religious Humor

 Three ladies unfortunately died in a car crash on their way to lunch one Sunday after church. As they approached the pearly gates, St. Peter welcomed them and said, "The most important rule to remember once you enter heaven is not to step on the ducks." The women, happy to discover they had been granted eternity in paradise, nodded their understanding and walked through the gates, only to discover that there were ducks walking around everywhere. They tried their best to avoid them but within an hour one of the ladies accidentally stepped on one. It gave out a loud quack, where upon St. Peter instantly appeared and shackled her to the ugliest man she ever seen and said, "You must spend the rest of eternity chained to this man." Later the same day the second lady also had the misfortune of stepping on a duck. Again, its plaintive quack summoned St. Peter who chained her for all time to a man even uglier than the first. The third lady, determined to avoid the first tw...
