: if's and buts where apples and nuts........ : can you finish the phrase and do you know it's origins and purpose "If "ifs" and "buts" were candy and nuts, wouldn't it be a Merry Christmas?" seems to be attributed to Don Meredith (the American football player/commentator). To rephrase it: if all these reasons why we can't do something were party foods instead of words, we could have a really great party. It would seem to be patterned after "If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride" and "If I had a for every , I'd have ".
