See a man about a horse--

Anyone know what that means?

Here's another twisted one-- when I was little people would say "I couldn't care less". Now I hear people say "I could care less". Does that make sense? Is there a difference?

Oh, and how about "That is so A-typical", when what you mean is "That is so typical"?

Beatle-Having to see a man about a horse means having to go to the bathroom-Have no idea where it comes from, my dad used to say it all the time.

One of my favorites is "he was on him like ugly on an ape"

In the UK - it is "see a man about a dog"
Means the same thing - I think it came from more genteel times when it was most impolite to say "I'm off for a pee" or something similar - so
"I am off to see a man about a dog" was a more polite way to convey this information!!

"I couldn't care less" is the UK version (and makes sense grammatically)

"I could care less" seems to be used in USA - doesn't make any sense to me either I'm afraid!

I don't think there is any difference in meaning though - they both mean
"I couldn't care less" LOL

I haven't heard this one in awhile, but if someone askes you a question and the answer is obviously yes, you say, "Does a bear fart in the woods"..?

Lol - UK version is a bit cruder "fart" being replaced by "sh*t"!

Another identically used saying here is.
"Is the Pope a Catholic?"

In our family, the two are irreverently mixed!

ie we use either - "Does the Pope sh*t in the woods?" or "Is the bear a Catholic?" :H

(Sorry Lucky your Popeness!)
