The definition of rode hard and put away wet used to be considered common knowledge but it is apparently a phrase that has not been passed down to the younger generations.
That's OK, there are a whole lot of things younger people say that I don't comprende.




One of the interns at work asked me what time it was recently. I said half past 9.

He looked at me funny and said what?

I said half past 9.

He gigged and said, what does that mean?

I said nine thirty.
Half past means half an hour after. So half past 9 means nine thirty.
Just like a quarter til means 15 minutes to the hour ....

He said "why don't you just say it right?"

I said good luck in your internship and went about my way.
We're domed.






( yes I speeled it that way on porpoise).
