The Hockey Color Commentator Used That One All The Time


I never understood the phrase “Head over Heels.”  My head is usually over my heels


A darn good arrangement.  I would think that in most cases, if you heels were over your head, you'd have a problem, not the other way around.


Exactly!  I don't see what the big deal is about being head over heels about something.  There's also a similar expression involving either a tea kettle or a tin cup which makes even less sense.  

I certainly understand that if I were carrying my tea kettle around and I fell so that I was, in fact, sitting on it, there would be some damage done to my person.  But generally speaking, I'm not carrying a tea kettle.  I'm reasonably certain I don't own a tin cup.
