Money idioms are not always straightforward so lets take a look at some of the more obscure sayings. We've all had to fork it over on occasion and it's never in a good way when you're called on to "fork it over", probably because the phrase originated in the 19th century and referred to picking pockets because the fingers resembled to tines of a fork. How about riding the gravy train? Only the most fortunate get a ride on that train, oddly enough it actually came from railroad workers between 1910-1920 when they were on a run that paid well but had little work. We'll wrap up with two opposites, burning a hole in my pocket vs saving for a rainy day which are very different camps when it comes to money but also fairly self explanatory. Not sure yet if there will be a post tomorrow or not, I need to take one of my rigs in to have an electrical problem ran down so I have no idea how long that might take.
