"Old wives tale?"

[ctherose]

Arguement with my 10-yr-old daughter. Is is "old wives tale" or "old wise tale"? There's no money riding on it, just another chance for her to be mad at me that I'm always right and she hates it!

I always heard "old wive's tale"...but I have been known to be wrong before.

Don't you know that all 10 year olds are FAR smarter than their parents (I have a 10 and an 11 year old). :rofl:

I say old wives tale! But now you have me doubting myself.. good luck with that one:gossip:

Wives-100% Not wise.

 

[LJVF]

definitely "wives"

This reminds me of "butt naked" or "buck naked", which one is it?

 

[CMHflorist]

[ctherose]

"Buck" for sure! (right?)

Wives for sure. Buck definitely.

 

[Connie]

With no doubt, wives. With total doubt, I've heard both butt and buck.

 

[Victoria]

I do believe it's "buck"... going back to a time when native American or Canadian males were referred to as bucks.

We say butt naked over here.

Are you sure? Almost sounds too crude to say in public...lol
Sorry, I've spents hours upon hours teaching my children to say "bum" instead of "butt". I think I'm a prude...

 

[Amanda's]
