muck Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 (edited) "...tickle her fancy..." As in, "Mary really likes Jim. He really tickles her fancy." All I can figure it is a euphamism for a most personal response of the female to the male... ...I have found myself snickering to myself ever time I hear it said in an old movie when used far more flippantly than I believe it was originally intended... ...and, if I'm wrong, what exactly is "a fancy" that a man can tickle on a woman?

detlef Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 It does make you wonder. Not entirely unlike how "shot his wad" has managed to work it's way into normal conversation. My guess is that tickle her fancy comes from the use of "fancies" to mean "likes". "She fancies crab cakes". Perhaps, having one's fancy tickled would mean that someone figured out what you fancy and hooked you up with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely unlike how "shot his wad" has managed to work it's way into normal conversation. that doesn't mean that either. I'm guessing that one originated with a "wad" of money. f'n perverts.

billay Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hhow to load a musket Step 1.Standing up, set the hammer to "half cock" for safety reasons. You'll be looking down the barrel quite a bit, and you don't want the hammer on full cock, which if kicked or dropped, might cause the musket to fire. Step2 Grab a charge out of the box or from your ammo pouch. Tear off the top of the charge with your teeth and keep the ball that was on the top in your mouth. Pour the powder down the barrel. Put the ball of lead into the barrel and put the wadding from the package on top. Step3 Take the ramrod and tamp the powder, the ball and the wadding into the barrel. The wadding is there to make sure that the ball and gunpowder stay put. Step4 Add some gunpowder to the flash pan below the trigger and fully cock the musket. Step5 Aim for the biggest mass you can on the battlefield because this weapon is not very accurate. Once you've set you sights on your target, press the trigger and the hammer will come down. This strikes flint against the pan, causing the gunpowder behind the ball to ignite and the weapon to fire.

Czarina Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 All this fancy talk reminds me of a sales person my husband used to run into from time to time in his office. She wasn't the sharpest knife in the drawer and they'd have this conversation: Chris: Fancy meeting you here! Person: Yes, isn't it?
