| Post subject: | Get the sack |
From http://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/StrangePhrases.htm Thought to originate from when an employer would hand a sack to an unwanted tradesman. The sack would have been used to by the tradesman to load his tools into as he subsequently left to search for a new job. |
