Originally posted by PonderableI think I have explained this before a comedy shown on UK tv about 10 years ago staring a doctor turned comic Mr Harry Hill his main props were talking badger puppets they wore flamboyant clothes(GAY) not in the homosexual sense more Dickensian at the end of each show they had a badger parade (they therefore became gay badgers hense the phrase that most English people would get is GAY AS A BADGER)
where does this idiomatic come from?
