Wohoo dull mans trivia, stolen from the site.

 

 

The phrase "rule of thumb" stems from a rule of law in England that came from a court case involving a Mr. Thumb. Mr. Thumb was a wife beater. Mrs. Thumb took Mr. Thumb to court. The court ruled that it was okay for Mr. Thumb to hit Mrs. Thumb but only as long as it was with a small stick. Earlier we had said, erroneously, that the phrase came from an old English law that allowed a man to beat his wife but only with something no wider than his thumb.

There are only two words in the English language (and they are hard to find) that begin with "weh." "Wehee" which is the onomatopoeic sound of a horse's whinny. "Wehrlite" which is a gray alloy.

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the Pacific.
