Goodenough College? Was that where the idea of “deferred success” first saw light?

Could be! I heared they were going to call the failures Deferredenough!

Yep. Woodworkers. Here’s the [u]straight dope[/u].

Hmmm… up for debate.

I lean towards this one http://library.findlaw.com/1999/Dec/1/130513.html and have to take my old law teacher’s word for it

From [u]Wordorigins.org[/u]:

… So, what we have is a single English judge who in 1782 (probably) held that a man could beat his wife with a stick narrower than his thumb. Since, according to the OED2, the phrase dates from at least 1692, this is probably not the origin of the phrase.

I suspect it’s one of those things we’ll never know for sure.

This is a good argument for going metric. 12 inches = 30.48 centimeters. Just don’t convert to meters.
