Steampunk Word Friday

June 10, 2011 by Marie-Claude Bourque

Here’s your steampunk expression for today! Try that in your story!!!

To catch a weasel asleep:

“Referring to something impossible or unlikely, in regard to someone who is always alert and is seldom or never caught off guard, e.g., You can’t trick old Joe any sooner than you can catch a weasel asleep.”

Stay Steamin’

M-C 🙂
