: : I have two phrases I'm trying to figure out the origin of....

: : The first is "I'll fix your little red wagon!" Anyone have ideas on where this originated?

: : The second is "trophy wife"......just wondering where/when this one started.

: I couldn't find anything on "trophy wife."

: I am guessing that "fix your little red wagon" originated during the rise in popularity of the Radio Flyer little red wagons -- see http://www.radioflyer.com/home/home.html

I think "I'll fix your wagon" started earlier than that and referred to full-size wagons. "Little red" would have been added when Radio Flyer wagons became popular.
