As I was working at the hotel this afternoon, I used the phrase, "going south" during a conversation with a guest. The elderly gentleman looked at me queerly and asked me, "Now where do you suppose that phrase came from?" I must admit, I was at a loss for words.
Therefore, I did what any modern curious person would do. I Google-d it. I found this website World Wide Words that allows various people to give there opinions on the origins of popular phrases and words. I have loved going through all theses different posts.
