[quote=Anonymous]Didn't read the whole thread, but here are a few colloquialisms that have clearly gone past their prime: "Off the reservation" - used to refer to someone who goes outside of their expected scope, but originally referred to Native Americans. "Crack the whip" - used to refer to pushing people harder, but originally referred to workhorses or slaves. "Indian Giver" - used to refer to someone who asked for a resource back (i.e. headcount), but originally referred to Native Americans "Stop being Jewish" - used to refer to someone who is cheap, but obviously referred to Jewish frugality.[/quote]
