I don't know the origins of some of our sayings, but I wish I did.
"Selling like hotcakes." - I assume these are pancakes. Have you ever seen someone running a pancake stand downtown? If you did, was there a big line-up?
"Sleeping like a baby" - obviously coined by someone who doesn't have kids. "I slept like a baby last night. I only slept for a few hours at a stretch, and when I did wake for the final time this morning, there was an empty bottle beside me, I had no idea where I was or what my next move was gonna be, and there was crap in my underwear."
