Three Sheets To The Wind
Anyone who has ever been drunk in the past can use this phrase. We tend to overestimate ourselves in more ways than one! When you are on your way to getting drunk, you will probably say that you are all right. Well, we bet that your friends do not agree with that. Trust us, you should trust them if you do not want to make bad decisions! This is where the phrase in question comes in. The phrase sounds nautical because it is. A “sheet” is actually a rope that is unmoored, flailing about in the wind like a drunk person.

Madder Than A Wet Hen
We have to admit that we have never seen a wet hen before. However, the term is not meant to be taken literally. When a woman is said to be “madder than a wet hen,” it means that you should not provoke her some more. After all, you never know what she will do when pushed to the limit! This is actually pretty similar to the old saying that goes, “Hell has no fury like a woman scorned.”
