About Durocacy

Growing up in the greater Los Angeles area had me around many walks of life. Some even from different areas of the world. I always noticed when happy or sad or upset these idioms would emerge. I would often think. What dose that really mean anyways? Does that traslate to a good thing or a bad thing? Well getting into my 40's and bored. I figured why not find out. So please feel free to join me. As I deep dive into books and many online sources to get to the bottom of. What the origins and sometimes geographic locations of idioms commonly used really mean. I feel this will be a lot of fun. This is just a project for enjoyment and educational perposess. Even a bit of relaxation. I look forward to the answers I will find.
