Chart Friday (whatever), in keeping with our Saucy Week theme: Hanky Panky (That expression always confused me in my younger years. I knew what a hanky was, but what the hell's a panky?)
Never pay a pirate the full ransom Never trust an irate who turns fulsome Never trust a pinky that’s not handsome Never leave your slinky feeling lonesome Never let your panky become humdrum And never lend your hanky to a crumbum
When you think about it it is a totally weird expression. One wonders how on earth it started.
