Ducks and Drakes Origin and Meaning
The phrase making ducks and drakes with money traces to a pond game using a stone or oyster shell to skip on water. The old writer’s lines describe a sequence of outcomes like a duck or drake and priced bets, a penny to the baker, and a hop and scotch notch. The metaphor signals heedless money use.
To the Bitter End Phrase Origin
The piece explains how the common saying to the bitter end originated from a misreading of to the better end in nautical usage. It cites Defoe as using the proper form in Robinson Crusoe describing a storm at Yar mouth and the cables veered to the better end.
