Was sexting with @Swaye on this...thought it might be a fun thread.

"Beyond the Pale" comes from beyond the "pale of settlement" for @Mad_Son 's people in the Old Russian Empire.

We actually had a riveting sext based story tim on "beyond the pale." I thought it was from English controlled Ireland back in the day. Rowboat corrected my shit quick fast and in a hurry. Hilarity and knowledge transfer ensued. Then we started talking about Vikings. Good tims.

On topic. I like bite the bullet...from pre-anesthesia surgery where you would literally bite a bullet to deal with the pain.

The savage thing was always a myth. @Swaye comes from one of the “Five Civilized Tribes” hence the willingness to interbreed with country club white devils.

For the last 4-5 years before my father-in-law died, I always fucked with him on the meanings of "throw your hat in the ring" and "throw in the towel".

I told him that throwing your hat in the ring obviously meant you were done, i.e., you're about to put your hat on to go outside while throwing in the towel was a sign that you ready to take on a task and the towel was there to wipe the sweat from your brow.

Pretty sure this is why he finally threw his hat into the ring.
