Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

There's some neat histories to some of the phrases we use. We get a bunch of 'em from falconry, oddly enough, along with a bunch of words.

Fed up. Wrapped around your finger. Hoodwinked. Chaperone. Under your thumb.

The list goes on.

I do not know the origin of any of those phrases, though I am familiar with them all

They're all falconry words or phrases. All of 'em - and a bunch more that you know, from haggard to gorge (as in over eat/eat heartily).

They all entered the English language due to falconry.

I kinda want to get into falconry. That'd be an awesome hobby. Rich fuckers in UAE, like oil baron kids/royalty in Dubai. I went to Dubai. I really want to go back.
