the heck do they mean by that ?
Top Dog
It has always
been believed that the dog
is man's best
friend.
So if he calls
you his Top Dog~ it must mean

very lofty position with him.
but use
his remote and you will be his underdog....

The Horse

Sitting Duck
This expression
began in the south in the 1800's
Shotgun laws
made it illegal to shoot a sitting duck.

you won't
get shot...
Spring Chicken
It started
in South Carolina in the 1800's
based on the
fact that all chickens were hatched
in the spring...

they were
never hatched ??

When someone
