    Here’s a “Murder of Crows” for ya -

    What’s the origin of the phrase ‘The collywobbles’?

    Colly is an English dialect word meaning coal dust. Blackbirds were hence known as colly birds. The song Twelve days of Christmas is usually sung as ‘my true love sent to me, four calling birds’… but the actual line is ‘four colly birds’.

    Speech-101, knocked it out of me. Came in handy during ’89 and all those public speeches that Y2K will have no effect on telephone service. I guess I can uncross my fingers now.
