Where / How did the phrase "Honest-to-Goodness" originate?

What does it really mean?


Okie dokie! . . . I've just looked it up . . .

So I don't get the title of your thread. :? :?


Hello Pheonix,

Honest to goodness is an idiomatic expression that has different shades of meaning. By hyphenating the words, I've created an adjective that means "no word of lie."
"Honest to Goodness" means "Really; for sure" . . . (no hyphens needed).

Now, let's dispense the hasty generalizations. :)

When those high school drop-outs, turned "soldiers", and subsequently proven cowards; for attacking a defenseless 3rd world country, you call the US military embarked on their death and destruction campaign in Iraq did any of them ask each and every Iraqi citizen if they agreed and/or supported one issue or another before bombing them to smithereens? I don't think so!

So do you really think it's important that you point out that some of you "may" not go along with "everything" the US does even though you pay taxes and thus fund such atrocities?

What EXACTLY is the point of this stupid thread? Are you patronizing the Iraqi people?


Get Real!, in another thread Paliometoxo asked if all Americans hate Muslims. I replied. Then I thought further about the numerous illogical generalizations about Americans and their politics that I've read about on this forum. Consequently, I thought I might pre-empt any further such questions and hasty generalizations with this stupid (you are very perceptive) thread. Question, by the way: Why did you respond to this stupid thread? Please note that in both cases I did not place quotes around the word stupid.

With regard to my tax payments funding military missions, I clearly appreciate the fundamental democratic tenet "majority rule, minority rights." Do you (or are you one of those who secretly desires to exterminate the Turks and other minorities from Cyprus)?

:? Your reply is irrelevant and worthless junk.

. . . Sigh of relief that GR!'s formidable brain is fighting for the Native Cypriots. :)

I would hate to have him as an opponent . . .

Filitsa, that answer your question? He can't make it any more clear than he has. He is a proven Turk hater and would love to kill us all with his bare hands.

I have nothing against Americans, very friendly people!

However, wasn't there something about the US government giving the approval of Turkey invading cyprus in 74?
