I don't know why, but I decided I wanted to look up where the hell the term "As sick as a dog" came from.
 

And here's the answer.

"Sick as a dog is actually the oldest of them, recorded from 1705; it is probably no more than an attempt to give force to a strongly worded statement of physical unhappiness. It was attached to a dog, I would guess, because dogs often seem to have been linked to things considered unpleasant or undesirable; down the years they have had an incredibly bad press, linguistically speaking (think of dog tired, dog in the manger, dog’s breakfast, go to the dogs, dog Latin — big dictionaries have long entries about all the ways that dog has been used in a negative sense)."  
    -----World Wide Words (dot org) It's some random british site... but looking at all the othersites proved that this is the only site that actually has some type of explination.

I think I'm gonna do this more often... ask random questions and search for the answers. You can tell I'm enjoying myself.

----------------------

Other than that, my day so far consists of listening to Spanish music and studying a bunch of vocabulary words that may or may not end up on the SAT(knowing my luck, it won't)... So I'm actually quite content with myself. Some of my cousins might come over later--- maybe. It doesn't feel like a saturday.


Have a nice rest of the weekend!
