[legendis.god]

your arse cheeks are perched precariously on the edge of your seat hilly bunt

just as well yyoure not called cilly hunt eh ?

[ChuckFickens]

Zac wasn't quite right...

A tenter was a frame for stretching wool out while it drys to stop it shrinking, the tenterhooks were the nails round the frame to fix the wool.

To be on tenterhooks means to be stretched or stressed (like the wool in the frame)

Cupid Stunt springs to mind for some reason.

[4getmenot]

ah I thought maybe because they were on tenterhooks waitng for the wool to dry so they could use it

[4getmenot]

I didnt think to be on tenterhooks meant stressed just on edge of your seat
