So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell.
Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be,

Where did the saying "P.i.s.s. Poor" originate ??

*****began to be attached to other words during the twentieth century to intensify their meaning. So **** poor, **** easy etc started to be used to indicate really poor, super easy etc

Where did "**** Poor" come from?
Interesting History.
They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot
And then once it was full it was taken and sold to the tannery...
if you had to do this to survive you were "**** Poor".
But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot...
They "didn't have a pot to **** in" and were the lowest of the low.

But if you were really poor you didn't have a pot to pea in or a window to throw it out of

How about some questions for which there may not be any answers?

For example - why do 7-Eleven shops have door locks?

or

Why is there no synonym or antonym for the word "thesaurus"?
