[AT] old expressions

[Larry D. Goss]

I haven't heard that one in years, Phil, but I grew up with it.  What's
strange about it is that it refers to a specific gauge of copper wire
that is used in relays and electromagnets.  We had two or three pounds
of "frog hair" in the shop that Dad brought home from the office in his
lunch box.  That much weight is a LOT of wire.

Hi Phil,  That's a good one but I've got to tell you I haven't read ANY
of 
these old expressions that I haven't heard somewhere before.  LOL.  I
think 
the regional aspects of American/Candian life have mostly disappeared!
