Actually, this meaning of 'cut and dried' is older than the oldest cowboy by a few centuries. It goes back to the ancient practice of cutting wood and letting it dry out thoroughly before using it in a fire." From "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollins, New York, 1977, 1988).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22259634.post-78958831433873542052009-05-31T21:04:30.763-07:002009-05-31T21:04:30.763-07:00Writing with microphones - now THERE'S a terrifyin...Writing with microphones - now THERE'S a terrifying thought!
