i don't really care what your personal american feelings are on homeschooling. you have to understand that it's a system that further empowers parents to own their children's lives and behavior. It generates abuse by enabling parents to cut off contact for the child with other children and adults. homeschooling must be understood as a type of grooming, potentially.

Still wrapping my head around the fact the phrase "Hold Your Horses" is a play on the word Stable...

To be stable.

obsessed w how none of these are the real origin of the phrase

[swanpaw]

[hamletthedane]

If you’re wondering the actual origins (all of these are very obvious, making it hilarious anything else was suggested):

- hold your horses: from horseback riding/horse-drawn carriages. Holding the reins up to stop the horse from going forward. Making you halt in place.

- be there or be square: phrase that started popping up in the 1930’s in jazz music spaces. A ‘square’ is a boring conformist normie. Hip cool youngin’s listening to jazz music wouldn’t want to be square.

- break a leg: It is what it says on the tin: if you tell an actor/performer “good luck”, you’re jinxing them. So you wish for them to break a leg instead. Unknown origin but definitely popular by the 1940s. Has been re-interpreted more recently to reference bowing at the end of a performance as well (breaking the straight line of your leg with a curtsy).
