Talking out of school
Posted by Barry Wright on August 29, 2004
I'd love to know the origin of "talking out of school"... I believed
it meant telling tales, snitching, or ratting out someone. Others tell me that it now means " speaking outside one's competence"?
True? False? What does anyone think?
