In the Spirit of Tait.

One expression that confounds me, "Happy as a Lark". I mean, how do you know a Lark is happy? Did someone ask it how its day is going? Maybe its smile (if you can make one out) is painted on like a clown. How did we come up with this? And by the way, what is a Lark? Maybe it is a crack addict and if so, is that the type of happy we want to be associated with?


Good thing I am happy as a pig in mud. Now that is an expression I can understand. Who doesn't like mud?View Image

Lark: To lark about is to play around; to frolic; to go on a SPREE. from the Middle English laik, to play and the Old English lac, a contest.\r \r I wonder if they mneant a killing spree?

If I'm not mistaken, a Lark is a bird that sings all the time. And if you're singing you must be happy, right?

Lark is a bird. Like the saying \"up with the lark\" - I think theres a bird called the Skylark but my ornothology is a bit rusty.\r \r oh and we say \"happy as a pig in shit\" but mud will do to!
