Coach Daboll needs to sit Danny down before the game and inform him he's ' keen as mustard ' on winning this game- And wants ' The Roast Beef '
Keen as mustard
Meaning: Extremely eager or enthusiastic. Long queues would form in the 18th century for people to get their hands on roast beef. Richard Leveridge described this enthusiasm in his song 'Roast beef of Old England' in the year 1735. Mustard being an accompaniment was soon associated with this enthusiasm.
And Danny needs to not play like ' there's a fly in the ointment ' and don't come to the sidelines and say ' I've dropped a clanger '
I've dropped a clanger
Meaning: To make a very bad or embarrassing mistake. The image is of something dropping with a clang, i.e. with a loud resonant ringing sound, which underlines the conspicuous nature of the mistake.
A fly in the ointment
Meaning: A minor irritation that spoils the success or enjoyment of something. The idiom likely has its roots in the Old Testament of the bible, in the book of Ecclesiastes. In the King James version, translated in the early 1600s, the passage reads: 'Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.'
Coach must say he's not thinking Danny is a ' flash in the pan ' and everything is indeed ' Tickety boo '
A flash in the pan
Meaning: A thing or person whose sudden but brief success is not repeated or repeatable. The phrase originated sometime during the late 17th century, when flintlock muskets were used. An attempt to fire a musket that resulted in gunpowder flaring up but no ball firing was referred to as a flash in the pan.
Tickety boo
Meaning: Everything is fine or in good order. It is thought to have been taken from a similar-sounding Hindi phrase in the 1930s, meaning 'all right'.
To The Defense Wink must say-- Don't Be A Curtain Twitcher! Get involved. He wants Dak ' dead as a door nail '
A curtain twitcher
Meaning: A nosy person who watches his or her neighbours, typically from a curtained window.
Dead as a doornail
Meaning: Emphatically dead. It is thought the phrase comes from the manner of securing doornails that were hammered into a door by clenching them. It is also suggested it is linked to coffins being hammered shut.
In short The Giants need to ' toe the line ' today and not ' Flogg A Dead Horse .'
They need to ' Put a sock in it " and make the Cowboys eat ' Humble Pie '.
It can be done or I'M AS MAD AS A HATTER. ~si
