Re: : "...polish the cannon balls."Posted by David FG on June 21, 2006 In Reply to: : "...polish the cannon balls." posted by mhunting on June 21, 2006 : : "...polish the cannon balls." Where did the phrase 'no need to polish the cannon balls' come from. I have heard it used to indicate over preparation. It's not a phrase I am familiar with, but I assume it comes from the fact that polishing cannon balls is a rather pointless activity: adding a needless refinement. DFG
