Gangan   10 #27 Posted May 28, 2007 Living over the broom as she refers to couples who are shacked up and not married lol.  African slaves took a custom with them to America.Part of the marriage ceremony was for the couple to tie their hands together with a ribbon and then jump over a broomstick. Peggy Lee had a big hit with the song: 'Come on,my baby, Let's jump the Broomstick,Come On, Let's Carry On! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Ms Macbeth   73 #31 Posted May 28, 2007 Ne'er cast a cloot til May be oot.  The Scots equivalent of 'never wear less clothing til the end of May')  I wonder what she would have said about the young people who go out drinking in cold weather wearing little more than a 'cloot'!
