When I was young, one of my friends had a pet goose that was kept in the back yard. If it didn't know you, you'd better know how to run. I'm not sure why it couldn't fly, but it could certainly fan its wings, leap in the air and get you with beak and feet.

"broad across the beam". Always made me think about BDSM.
Just say big ass and be done with it.

Husband has been known to use "two axe handles wide". I'm still working on domesticating him.

"A penny for your thoughts".
Due to inflation any worthwhile thoughts would be worth $6.75.
Of course anyone who watches The Voice, Dancing with the Stars, or The Masked Singer - their thoughts
are still going at the original rate of $.01.....

Not obsolite, but I never understood "Meteoric rise" when metiors actualy crash burning to the ground!

Get an air fryer, get a chip chopper, plant some potatoes and figure out where you can buy fresh cod on the cheap.
Tweak your own fish and chips to perfection.

I could watch dancing with the stars if I got only the outtakes of the twirling dresses showing those sweet dancer legs. As it is, I watch none of that stuff.
Now, someone "drop the dime" to my wife for me being a sexist pig.
