And here's the base fruit of his burning lust.
Say, wall-eyed slave, whither wouldst thou convey

Why dost not speak? what, deaf? not a word?
A halter, soldiers! hang him on this tree.

Meaning
The real thing - not a substitute.
Origin
- McCoy is derived from Mackay, referring to Messrs. Mackay, Edinburgh, who made a brand of fine whisky from 1856 onwards and which that they promoted as 'the real Mackay' from 1870.
- After Kid McCoy (Norman Selby,1873-1940), American welterweight boxing champion. The story goes, and there are various versions of it, that a drunk challenged Selby to prove that he was McCoy and not one of the many lesser boxers trading under the same name. After being knocked to the floor the drunk rose to admit that 'Yes, that's the real McCoy'.
- The Canadian inventor Elijah McCoy made a successful machine for lubricating engines which spawned many copies all inferior to the original. He patented the design in 1872.
- The phrase originates with a dispute between two branches of the Scots Mackay clan over who was their rightful leader. The head of one branch was Lord Reay, who came to be known as the Reay Mackay which migrated to 'the real McCoy'.
- Joseph McCoy (1837-1915), became mayor of Abilene, Kansas as it developed into a sizeable town. He called himself 'the real McCoy'.
- Bill McCoy was a US rumrunner during the prohibition years and his 'real' rum, imported from Canada, was compared favourably with poor quality local brews.
- McCoy was a Pennsylvanian who supplied commercial nitro-glycerine to safecrackers who favoured it over their own home-made efforts.
- McCoy is a corruption of Macao which was the source of a pure and sought after class of heroin.
There are several other attempts at explanation going the rounds but they carry little conviction.

The ants are my friends, they're blowing in the wind

Origin
From The Bible. Deuteronomy 32:10. 'He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.' Zechariah 2:8. 'For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.'

Meaning

The bee's knees
Meaning
Excellent - the highest quality.
Origin
Bees carry pollen back to the hive in sacs on their legs. It is tempting to explain this phrase as alluding to the concentrated goodness to be found around the bee's knee. There's no evidence for that explanation though. The phrase seems to have been coined in 1920s America and the first printed reference to it is found in 1922. There's no deep and profound reason for relating bees and knees other than it's perky sounding rhyme, along the lines of 'the mutts nuts'.
The best laid schemes of mice and men
Origin
From Robert Burns' poem 'To a Mouse', 1786. It tells of how he, while ploughing a field, upturned a mouse's nest. The resulting poem is an apology to the mouse and goes on to say that 'the best laid schemes o'mice an'men, Gang aft a-gley'.

The exception which proves the rule
Meaning

Origin
This doesn't mean that a rule is proved to be correct by a counter example, which would be a logical nonsense.

For example, the rule that 'all birds can fly' is tested by the existence of penguins.
The face that launched a thousand ships
Origin
Christopher Marlowe, in Doctor Faustus, referring to Helen of Troy. 'Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships

The quality of mercy is not strained
Origin
From Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice.
PORTIA: The quality of mercy is not strain'd,
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest;
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes:
'Tis mightiest in the mightiest: it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown;
His sceptre shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;
But mercy is above this sceptred sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
It is an attribute to God himself;
And earthly power doth then show likest God's
When mercy seasons justice. Therefore, Jew,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this,
That, in the course of justice, none of us
Should see salvation: we do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all to render
The deeds of mercy. I have spoke thus much
To mitigate the justice of thy plea;
Which if thou follow, this strict court of Venice
Must needs give sentence 'gainst the merchant there.
The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated
Origin
Mark Twain quotation after hearing that his obituary had been published in the New York Journal.
Mistaken publications of obituaries aren't as rare as you might expect. A recent example is of Dave Swarbrick, the British folk/rock violinist, who was killed off mistakenly by the Daily Telegraph in April 1999 when they reported that his visit to hospital in Coventry had resulted in his death. He did at least get the opportunity to read a rather favourable account of his life, not something we all get to do, and to deliver the gag "It's not the first time I have died in Coventry".
The road less trevelled
Meaning
The unconventional or uninvestigated option. The notion is near to what is nowadays called 'alternative'.
Origin
From Robert Frost's (1874 - 1963), The Road Not Taken

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Note spellings - In Uk: travelled, in USA: - traveled.

Oscar Wilde's quotation about fox hunting.

The whole nine yards
Meaning
All of it - full measure.
Origin
Of all the feedback that The Phrase Finder site gets this is the phrase that causes the most feedback and the most disagreement. At the outset it should be said that no one knows the origin, although many have a fervent belief that they do. These convictions are unfailingly based on no more evidence than 'someone told me'.
It is most likely that, as with many phrases, it originated in colloquial use and has been appropriated as a general term meaning full measure. It crops up in many contexts, which isn't surprising as there are many things that can be measured in yards. This leads to many plausible explanations of the phrase's origin; regrettably, plausibility isn't enough.
The earliest known reference to the phrase in print is as recent as 1967 in 'The Doom Pussy', a novel about the Vietnam War by Elaine Shepard. In that context the phrase refers to the difficulties a character has with disentangling himself from an unwanted marriage. It isn't clear if the author coined the phrase herself, although the manner of its use in the story would suggest not. Ms. Shepard died in September 1998, so unfortunately we can't ask her.
Although the precise origin of any particular phrase may be difficult to determine, the date of its coinage usually isn't. Phrases that are accepted into common use appear in newspapers, court reports, novels etc. very soon after they are coined and continue to do so for as long as the phrase is in use. Anyone putting forward an explanation of an origin the the whole nine yards that dates from before the 1960s has to explain the lack of a printed record of it prior to 1967. If, to take the most commonly repeated version for instance, the phrase comes from the length of W.W.II machine gun belts, why is there no printed account of that in the thousands of books written about the war and the countless millions of newspaper editions published throughout the 1950s and 60s? The ideas that it pre-dates the war and goes back to the 19th century or even the Middle Ages are hardly plausible.
These are some of the versions going the rounds: take your pick...
- It comes from the nine cubic yards capacity of US concrete trucks and dates from around 1970s.
- The explanation refers to World War II aircraft, which if proved correct would clearly predate the concrete truck version. There are several aircraft related sources, 1. the length of US bombers bomb racks, 2. the length of RAF Spitfire's machine gun bullet belts, 3. the length of ammunition belts in ground based anti-aircraft turrets, etc. No evidence to show that any of these measured nine yards has been forthcoming.
- Tailors use nine yards of material for top quality suits. Related to 'dressed to the nines'?
- The derivation has even been suggested as being naval and that the yards are shipyards rather than measures of area or volume.
- Another naval version is that the yards are yardarms. Large sailing ships had three masts, each with three yardarms. The theory goes that ships in battle can continue changing direction as new sails are unfurled. Only when the last sail, on the ninth yardarm, is used do the enemy know which direction the ship is finally headed.
- A mediaeval test requiring the victim to walk nine paces over hot coals.
If anyone has any hard evidence of this phrase being used before 1967, e.g. an appearance of the phrase in print, we would love to see it. Please post your feedback at the Phrase Finder Discussion Forum - but please, evidence not conjecture.
The wind of change is blowing through this continent
Origin

Meaning

Article (grammar)
An article is a word that combines with a noun to indicate the type of reference being made by the noun. The three main articles in the English language are the, an and a. An article is sometimes called a Noun marker, although this is generally considered to be an archaic term.
It is sometimes wondered which part of speech articles belong to. Since articles modify nouns, either alone or in combination with an adjective, they are sometimes classed as adjectives. However, some linguists place them in a different category, that of determiners.
Articles can have various functions:
- A definite article (English the) is used before singular and plural nouns that refer to a particular member of a group.
- The cat is on the black mat.
- An indefinite article (English a, an) is used before singular nouns that refer to any member of a group.
- A cat is a mammal.
- A partitive article indicates an indefinite quantity of a mass noun; there is no partitive article in English, though the words some or any often have that function.
- French: Voulez-vous du café ? ("Do you want some coffee?" or "Do you want coffee?")
- A zero article is the absence of an article (e.g. English indefinite plural), used in some languages in contrast with the presence of one. Linguists hypothesize the absence as a zero article based on the X-bar theory.
- Cats are mammals.
