ORIGINS OF EXPRESSIONS !

 

YOUNG JUDGE ~ BIG WIG ~ MORE AUTHORITY ?

 

BIGWIGS  are people of importance

Not coverings for those who\'ve lost their hair

A colloquial term for \"Persons of Authority\"

JUDGES & BARRISTERS who this affection share !

The Law is an Ass ~ and their judgement won\'t budge

The BIGGER the WIG ~ The BETTER the JUDGE !

 

HALCYON DAYS is Sicilian Folk Law 

In GREEK the word means A Kingfisher

She lays her eggs upon the sea ~ The prayed

For calm ~ so the waves don\'t dish \'er !

So HALCYON DAYS will cause no alarm

They are days of Peace ~ Tranquility ~ Calm ! 

 

A HAT TRICK is a performance of THREE

Deriving from the Noble Art of CRICKET

If you bowled three Men ~ in consecutive balls

You have performed a HAT TRICKET !

And much more than that ~ Back in the .......

Pavillion you\'re given A HAT !

 

PARAPHERNALIA ~ refers to the GOODS

A Man would bestow on his New Wedded Wife

It was things apart from the DOWRY

Things she\'d inherit for LIFE

From the GREEK ~ PARA (besides) FERNE (dowry) ~ so

The WIFE has much more on show !
