: : : : My grandfather was fond of the phrase
: : : : "He/She/They should be shot with **** and hung for stinking." Origins please?
: : : I have never heard it. But I love it and am stealing it.
: : I've heard (and used) a variation here in Ireland: 'He should be shot with shovel-fulls (sic) of cow ****!' Sorry I don't know the origin.
: Cattalac -- where did your grandfather live? And when did he say this?
I have not heard of this one either, but I, too, am stealing it--it's very expressive!
