Guess the Phrase I

[samvara]

The House of B&D is the proud owner^* of Orijinz, a language game where you guess the phrase or word from the description origin. We utterly fail to play it in real life so clearly we should play it on teh internets. Those of you who remember playing what am I back in 2005 may wish to crawl away in terror now. I have Definitions Clues and will hand them out on request. Answers on Sunday.

ETA #2 should read "sold the grease to span soap and candle makers"

Oh good, no one else seems to know the 2 i can't get

*g* I gave the Origin, I can also give the Definition - do you want them?

[ironed_orchid]

Maybe wait and see if anyone else gets it. If not, add the definition.

Fun. Looking forward to more!

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Glad you liked!

I really like the phrase in No. 4 and have never even thought about where it came from!

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Same! I'd always vaguely related it to people handing out cigars when they have babies which makes no sense.

[cupidsbow.livejournal.com]

Awesome. I really had to think about some of them!

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

New toy!

Rats. I sort of knew they wouldn't have been MAD yet in 1954.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

I do clues if you wants!

[riverbella.livejournal.com]

Fun! Even if I did only get the easy ones. I suspect cupidsbow was right on 3. Makes sense. What about 2? I know mine was wrong. Render a profit seems like the right answer. I may have to see if I can find this game somewhere!

Yay! No-one wanted the clues darn it, I had them all lined up and everything :p

results: *smiles mysteriously*

I don't think I knew ANY of these.

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

*smiles mysteriously*

All will be revealed soon... you get creativity points too!

Sorry, I must be really dumb or something. I couldn't think of any of them. Is it an American game? Maybe they're American phrases that I don't know? *hopes that's the problem and not that I'm dumb, lol*

[black-samvara.livejournal.com]

Some of them are common phrases, none of them are easy!
