I think I know the answer to this one.
When someone is said to be going 'bat sh1t crazy' this is probably what they mean. This is one of the cottages in my retirement village. It is the worst example, but several cottages have been affected. :eek:

A while ago, I think I observed a possible origin for the expression, "high-tailing it out of here," meaning getting out really quickly. During my morning walk, a skunk jumped out the bushes but fortunately ignored me. It was running from a coyote would be my guess--but it ran with its tail more elevated than normal, though not as elevated as if it were going to spray. Apparently, some animals need to raise their tails to reach their maximum velocity. :icon_eek:
Irrelevant to sayings, but just a little fun fact not worth starting a separate thread for, apparently, possums stand on their hind legs if they need to get a better view. I saw that just a couple days ago for the first time. (Of course, we already know where the expression, "Playing possum," came from. I've seen that, too.)

This thread is like my writing career; it's gonna finish up the track.
