Over Yonder

Over where? Nope, this is not a grammatical error. If you ever find yourself in the south and in need of directions, you might hear someone say this. Let us explain to you what yonder actually means. It is not all that hard to figure out. Basically, this is just another way to say, “Over there.” There is a good chance that they would be pointing in the general direction of wherever it is that you need to go!

See To Christmas

No, this person is not a psychic who can see what Christmas will be like. This is not at all what the phrase is referring to. The phrase is often used to talk about a woman who is wearing a skirt that could afford to be a little longer. You might want to think of a grandmother scolding her cheeky granddaughter! She might tell off the younger woman by saying that she can “see to Christmas.” Next time, you might want to cover up some more if you are going to drop by her house!
