Idiomatic sayings

mardi 29 novembre 2016

I thought we could have an interesting thread on the origins of some common figures of speech. Generally they are used in a metaphorical sense, I wonder what their literal meaning and origin was.

One to start with all the rumpus over AP.

'Busted Flush' - where does that one come from? We all know that metaphorically it means that someone/something is finished with no hope of a come back. But where did the expression come from?
