I've never heard that saying before, so I'll change it to "I'm going to make your snatch bald." :-P

Wow! What a great question; I love tracing down crazy expressions. :)
This was a tough one but here it is:
"The root of this stems from the form of torture used by the British, on the Irish. When a person was suspected of having information that they considered valuable, and that person was reluctant to talk, the British, during the Irish Rising of 1798, employed what they called "Pitch Capping". A hat or cap was filled with hot liquid tar and then crammed onto the hapless victim's head. When the mass had cooled, it was removed, along with the victim's hair and scalp, by snatching it off his head from the rear forward. Pitch Capping was also employed by the British on the American colonists during the Revolutionary War."

What is the meaning of an expression 'snatch sb bald'?
by Queeningboy69 on February 27th, 2011
Not sure, but the first time I heard it was from a friend of my brothers who was from Louisiana.
The expression some people use when they are in error, "It's my bad." Is it just me, or is anyone else tired of it? :)

I'm glad you like it, Violet - Rocket doesn't seem too impressed, though :-).

I think she is just burried in comments and Answers. OR, maybe she never got the comment! I haven't been receiving all of mine, and then I happen to run into them randomly
by Violet on May 12th, 2009
That happens to me too. I'll get an answer to a question and check to see if there have been other answers that I wasn't notified of. About 5 to 10% of the time there is one - or more.
by Brian on May 12th, 2009
