To smash to smithereens pre-1930?
Posted by Baska on June 24, 2005
Can anybody give me the origin of "to smash to smithereens" - I am particularly interested in whether it is pre-1930s, or not - I need it for a translation. Or can anyone suggest an alternative which would apply to - say - the Great War and "smashing a regiment into smithereens" - many thanks.
