The other day we were tormenting a poor teenager with the expressions ‘As happy as Larry’ and ‘As happy as a pig in muck.’
I think he was wondering if the pig’s name was ‘Larry’, or if all the old people had just lost it.
(On a digression, there is a man in Mount Gambier who walks a pig on a leash around town, and I don’t know if that pig’s name is ‘Larry’, either.)
Anyway, at least we didn’t add ‘As happy as a clam’ to our young friend’s confusion.
What does ‘As happy as a clam’ mean anyway?
