Brigi

We have to bring an idiom that has to do something with animals to our next Language Practice class and tell the others its origin.

• I wanted to bring jump the shark but Julis stole that from me claimed it as hers sooner than me. So I went to look for another one.
• I really like beast with two backs (=partners engaged in sexual intercourse) but I'm not sure if I want to talk about that. (I don't have any problem with the topic but considering what kind of people are in my group it might not be a good idea.)
• So I browsed some more and I found another one from Shakespeare: wild goose chase. I didn't know he was the first who used that!

Romeo: Switch and spurs, switch and spurs; or I'll cry a match.
Mercutio: Nay, if thy wits run the wild-goose chase, I have done, for thou hast more of the wild-goose in one of thy wits than, I am sure, I have in my whole five.

BONUS: the Master used it as well.
Master: You’re public enemies number one, two and three. Oh, and you can tell handsome Jack that I’ve sent his little gang off on a wild goose chase to the Himalayas so he won’t be getting any help from them.
