Every English Idiom Under The Sun...
...means literally, this site is hours of fun.
I was looking up the origin of an expression for a short story and I stumbled upon this treasure trove of sayings...

Click the link and click "Diversions" on the left-hand column of the main page. Then click the scorpion icon that is right next to "Expressions & Sayings.
I'm glad I did because the one about "I've got to see a man about a dog" always bothered the hell out of me and now that I know it's origin and true meaning, it's slightly less obnoxious. I'm in geek heaven, minus the pocket-protector.

Thanks for stopping by Marsha. I went over to your site and it's a good first effort.
Please realize that I'm not Mr. Romance (just ask the Missus) and I know even less about "slice of life" plays.
I am the last person in the world to ask about this type of genre so I really cannot assess or critique it. Still, stay with it and you'll be able to reach violence-addled people such as myself, regardless of genre.
Oooohhh... clicking on a link named Diversions is never good. Especially for us writers who are easily diverted... :)
"Diversions" is a terrible word for a writer. I hope you've checked out the site and compared some of the words in the posting on your site against the origins posted on this one.
