It actually means a certain part of the male anatomy that ladies do not have.
In more recent times it has evolved to mean a stupid person or possibly dick head Shocked

Sorry fixed . It is just that all my life people have preferred emu to me.

Isn't that a prescribed quote from the medicine cabinet of one Doctor Theophylius Emu Watson?

It was most certainly not him. It is commonly attributed to Shakespeare in his play of the same name written in 1601 . However it was used in 1546 in a poem by John Heywood . However it is believed to even predate that and was in use as a probverb prior to that.

Thanks for putting me straight on that. 'A tree is a tree is a tree' is one of yours though, isn't it?

funny that, my last post on the old ATU was to comment on a post i had made that had been changed.
words had been added, and it was quite clear when and where they had come from.

not to worry, i'm sure it will all happen again, if we wait. bounce

^ Doesn't it just! There was a recent classic on the sadly departed ATU which was about 6 quotes deep. I commented on it. Not that anyone cared Sad

I say anyone quoting more than 5 quotes deep should be banned. And - erm, ostracised, and - erm, well ... Sleep
