: Where does the phrase "putting on the dog" originate?

This question has been covered twice in this forum, in 2001 and 2007 - and the responses then seem to have covered this far better than I could hope to. Please see www.phrases.org.uk bulletin_board 12 messages 414.html and www.phrases.org.uk bulletin_board 55 messages 151.html. (GC)
