Hey there,
I was led here by my friend the Cakesniffer.
Let me ask you a question if I may,
In the UK we don't have expression 'piss and vinegar', although we do have both items by the bucket load, anyway my question is, what exactly does it mean?
I think I get the piss bit, as in 'pissed off' - which I think is British, but where does the vinegar fit in??
Sorry, this is probably the lamest comment EVER!
See ya.
Welcome herge smith!
I have always used the saying "full of piss and vinegar" as a slang term pointing out that someone is being feisty, outspoken etc.I have no idea what it really means so i stole this from "The Maven's Word of The Day"
-"The trouble with discussing this phrase is the "shedding light on it" part. The Oxford English Dictionary's earliest citation for it is from its 1942 mention in The American Thesaurus of Slang by Berrey & Van Den Bark, but we have a citation in our files from Steinbeck's 1938 The Grapes of Wrath: "'How ya keepin' yaself?' 'Full a piss an' vinegar.'" If Steinbeck had a character use a phrase in speech and didn't gloss it, then the phrase had to have already been familiar for some time before he recorded it. There are also plenty of citations going forward from that date, all the way up to Bart's declaration in a 1994 episode of The Simpsons: "I'm full of piss and vinegar." -
However, we still haven't turned up anything earlier than the Steinbeck citation, which makes it hard to know where the phrase comes from.
- uh, hope that helps......
