Three lines carved into the stick would be, for example, three sheep.<br /><br />In any transaction, there would be the payer and the payee. They would take the stick and try to split it in half. But wood doesn't split evenly. The person who owed the sheep or money got the short side of the stick.<br /><br /><br /><br />FIDOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04768886981584556497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-11652631047737663682017-11-27T16:58:42.228-06:002017-11-27T16:58:42.228-06:00Sexual predators, and predators generally, especia...Sexual predators, and predators generally, especially when the woman is unconscious, and is both legally and literally incapable of offering consent, but that would require an establishment of religion/moral philosophy.

Poorer people used leaves, or a gompf stick. A gompf stick was a stick that had a slightly curved end to it. You held onto the straight part and cleaned your backsides with the short, curved part. Anyone not paying attention when reaching for the gompf stick grabbed the SHORT end of the stick, not a pleasant experience!

That's..."the short end of the stick"<br /><br />That's a nonsensical expression. It's a stick. It has 2 ends. How can either end be considered "short"?<br /><br />But people do say that. What's up?<br /><br />I believe it's a corruption of the idea of drawing straws or sticks, where one stick is short and the others are long. The person who draws the short stick is the one stuck doing whatever it is they're drawing straws about.<br /><br />Or maybe it's that choosing thing you do with a baseball bat (grabbing it with one hand after another until there's no room left. Maybe the absence of room is the "short end").Ann Althousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01630636239933008807noreply@blogger.com
