I'm always fascinated by the way language makes ripples through our culture.  "Swing a dead cat" was a raunchy little phrase that was popular a long time ago, then vanished (which was probably a good thing).  In recent weeks I heard this phrase repated several times, as if this generation had just discovered it and was seeing if they liked it.  But I'm not sure, yet, if they've decided it's a keeper.  Please e-mail me at:  pjones41@kc.rr.com.
