Cliche of the Day


Basket Case
 
This term dates from World War I, when it denoted a soldier who had lost both arms and legs and had to be carried off the field in a basket or litter.
 
 
Ok yes that's just depressing but so is Tuesday after a holiday!

Actually... okay, yeah, it's gory, but man it's interesting -- I'd have never guessed that.
