Just got home from my Research class and my head is swinging. The one thing I am prepared to confirm: Continental Subway is reliable and valid. Or, as the non-experts call it, groovy.
In Hebrew, a potato is "pree h'adama", fruit of the ground; an apple is "pree h'etz", fruit of the tree.
Digging the Yiddish, (Yiddish ska, no less!) came from a Yiddish speaking family.
@docjazz & David D.: Makes sense to make distinction. "You can eat them right off the tree, but if you have to dig them up you'll have to make a fire."
@Parq:Howdy!
I think most of us learned the expression from reading it, rather than hearing it. The opposite happened to the expression "spit and image", which via hearing it pronounced by people who mumbled the "and", became "spitting image".
