I love including these things in my writing. It's cool, with everything I said, that's the part you picked up on. If this was Steem, back in the day, you'd be given shit for leaving an "off topic" comment... LOL! Thanks for sharing that link. This was one idiom I didn't google first to make sure I was saying it right.
