sell a bargainA species of wit, much in vogue about the latter end of the reign of Queen Anne, and frequently alluded to by Dean Swift, who says the maids of honour often amused themselves with it. It consisted in the seller naming his or her hinder parts, in answer to the question, What? which the buyer was artfully led to ask. As a specimen, take the following instance: A lady would come into a room full of company, apparently frightened, crying out "It is white, and follows me!" As soon as someone responded "What?" she sold him the bargain, by saying "Mine arse".Rate it:

sell in may and go away"Sell in May and go away" is a popular adage or saying in the stock market that suggests investors should sell their stocks or investments in May and stay out of the market until the end of October. The idea behind this saying is that the stock market tends to experience weaker performance during the summer months, particularly from May to October. This pattern is often attributed to factors such as reduced trading activity, lower corporate earnings reports, or investors' vacation periods.Rate it:
