Today I am thankful for odd phrases with unknown (to me) origins. For example, "Let's split this pop stand," "Bit the dust," "Opened up a can of worms," etc...
And yes, I could probably google them, but the mystery of it all is what intrigues me. Plus, I don't google, but that's an entirely different story...
Also, I noticed this evening that there are several involving horses, which I find quite curious. Examples: "Pee like a racehorse," "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse," "That's enough (fill in the blank) to kill a horse!," "Straight from the horse's mouth," etc... Strange.
YOU DON'T GOOGLE.

Also, I thought it was "popsicle stand." But maybe that's just me...
AH! I thought of it. "Let's blow this popsicle stand."
