MONEY-SPENDING EXPRESSIONS
Chick Ambrass writes: "I don't know if this has ever been
discussed before, but I've heard many expressions about how
fast one can spend money, such as, "easy come, easy go."
My Dad always used to say: "If you were supposed to hang
on to it...they would put handles on it" and of course: "you
can't take it with you". Well, today I heard a new one: "That
went so fast....it didn't even have a chance to get a wrinkle in
it," referring to the paper money in his wallet.Have you or your readers ever heard of that saying before?
What other sayings are floating around pertaining to spending
money?"[We're always quick to get sidetracked here at The E-Sylum,
and this could be an interesting topic. Let's hear some of the
colorful expressions our readers have come across. One that
I've been fond of describes a tightwad thusly: "He tosses
nickels around like they were manhole covers." -Editor]- 2005-09-18
