Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's the pedal on the left on a piano, it muffles and softens the sound of the hammers striking the strings. The one on the right is the sustain pedal, it, well, sustains the note or notes. I forget what the center one does, if I ever knew.
We know where toe the line and jump the gun come from, right?
Pedal. "Peddle" always looked wrong though I couldn't explain why. But thanks to Bev, now I can. Cool!

Think 'foot race' smonster!
IMHO, 'tickled pink' means embarrassed in a nice way so that you blush.
In the movie "far and away" , in the boxing scenes, they drew a chalk line on the floor and a little boy screamed "toe the line" and the boxers were not supposed to step over it toward each other. The kid was played by the kid who played Crutchy in Newsies. Not sure how accurate it was.

That's new to me. I've always used it to mean chuffed. Utterly delighted. Nothing to do with embarrassment at all.
Utterly delighted is how I've always understood it. I'm going to hazard it's something to do with humors and having a sanguine temperament.
The middle pedal sustains the notes that are being played when you depress it, but not those you play once it's been pressed. Which is kind of nifty, but I don't think I've had occasion to use it ex elf to see what it does. Don't know what it's called but I think it has an Italian name for some reason.
So my first day of work, and my boss calls me to tell me that he’ll be in meetings, and there won’t be anyone there to meet me, so I shouldn’t come in until 11.

So far so good then!
Well, that sounds great, Tom!
Me, I got home from Chicago at 10:30, and instead of being sensible and going right to sleep, I sat up catching up on LJ/DW and posting a story and then I slept poorly and I'm going to be late to work. Ah, well.
