Commonly Used Idioms and How They Came to be http://www.socyberty.com/Folklore/Commonly-Used... Have you ever wondered where the idioms we use come from? We hear them often and even use them ourselves but how did they originate? Like, "Old Goat." Why are people with less than desirable dispositions referred to as old goats when they reach a certain stage in life? And, "Old Fart" this one always alluded me, until I stood behind.
