Wherever The Mood Takes Me
Listening to SCR this afternoon I noticed they have a spot where you can ring up and ask a question that youve always wanted answered. They then get their listeners to ring up and answer the question. Well I thought it was a good idea and thought it might be interesting to try it on here. (Mind you, I'm probably gonna be wrong!)

First question.......Where does the expression "Eat your heart out" originate from? As in eat your heart out CKR when you score a great goal.

Hope this helps:

Meaning: Intended to make one feel bitterness or pain as they long for something out of reach.

Origin: Heart is also defined as the central, core, or inner most part of an object (or person). To eat the heart out is to remove the core or most important part, a part that will surely be missed. The phrase is probably a shortened way of saying "This will eat your heart out".

Alternatively,

Adapted from the 16th century "eat one's own heart", meaning to suffer from silent grief or vexation. It also has roots in the Biblical phrase, "to eat one’s own flesh", used to describe an indolent person.

Why do hot dogs come in packages of ten, but hot dog buns only come in packages of just eight?

I will have to tread carefully with my boss. He is reading his at the moment. Or should I say her?

I second that. Oh and where is it you can get these penis extension operations and how do they do it?

I thought it was 6 and 8 mate. Or it is in father of the Bride anyway as Steve Martin gets banged up for that very argument.
