This is absolutely the last straw!
Last Saturday 26 February 2005 09:36, james(a)dis-dot-dat.net was like:
Hmm. I've never heard of the short end of the
stick. I've heard of
the wrong end of the stick, and the short straw, but this one's new to
me.
Of course this could be chinese whispers. Whole websites have sprung up with
the aim of deciphering lyrics from bands like Can and the Cocteau Twins. What
fun!
Maybe it's an American phrase. The most similar
expression I can
think of over here is getting the sh*tty end of the stick.
I've heard it used in England natively.
I've just noticed that this post has absolutely
nothing useful in it,
but I'm about to press send anyway.
Me too! ;-)
