Willy's pants.

Having spent a little while over at the ever-ready Non-WorkingMonkey's place, a small wonderance has been provoked in my little mind.

My mother often said:

"This won't get the pants on Willy"

As an expression of "we really should get on with Important and Productive Stuff.

I do not know from whence it came.

Do you?

Nope. But oddly, my mum is called Willy ... short of Wilhelmina, a name that needs shortening. Where they her pants I wonder?

My mum used to exclaim, "oh, that gives me the willies!" It's a mystery to me where that came from too lol.

That's a great one!

My dad always used to say things like "it's better than a kick in the pants with a cowboy boot!" and "if it were a snake it would have bit you by now"
