I learn something new everyday
Ha ha, you really do learn something new everyday. Today I typed a phrase into google that someone had used in an email and guess what I found? (Copied directly from the web site)
"A fate worse than death"
Meaning:
Rape or loss of virginity.
Origin:
Probably originated in Victorian England and attested to the belief that a dishonoured woman was better off dead. Still used but ironically of late. Edgar Rice Burroughs used it in his Tarzan of the Apes, 1914. 'The ape ... bearing Jane Porter away toward a fate a thousand times worse than death'.
Sooo, the moral of the story is, always be careful of what phrases you use, and be sure they don't allude to things that you really don't mean to say.
Yeah, well, with him, I wouldn't be surprised if he was raped at the show....do you know what he did now?! I swear, I'll throw him outta the plane.
