11. Nuh uh, I'll just fly by the seat of my pants...
You know, I've always wondered how that saying got started, what do you think? :shrug:

15. Thanks!
So far, no luck:

Origin

Early aviation parlance. Aircraft initially had few navigation aids and flying was accomplished by means of the pilot's judgement.

That doesn't tell me what it has to do with pants! Your brain is not in your ass, unless you are a member of the BFEE!

Good point
I found a better explanation, though:

Welcome to the first day of February! Today I have for you
the origin of the phrase "fly by the seat of your pants."
To fly by the seat of your pants means to do something
without planning, to change course midstream, to figure
things out as you go. Here is the history of this phrase:

Before airplanes had sophisticated instruments and flight
control systems, and even today, planes are piloted by feel.
Pilots can feel the reactions of the plane in response to
their actions at the controls.

Being the largest point of contact between pilot and plane,
most of the feel or feedback comes through the seat of the
pants. If you are "flying by the seat of your pants" your
are responding to the feedback received.

So now, we learned something, yay!

Got any other funny phrases you want me to hunt down for you?

30. Hrm.... no luck with that
Not too many Google results: Results 1 - 9 of about 14 for "that'll fix your wagon".

None of them, sadly, tell me anything about how that phrase came to be, but apparently your mom isn't the only one who uses it!

26. I take that back
about you being a baby! I thought your post above--about me saying that KitchenWitch was sexy--was a negative response!
I thought you meant I was being cheap b/c I was talking dirty!
