watch the spectacle; watch Aunt Sally Explanation: Aunt Sally (Brit) - any person who is a target for insults or criticism -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2009-10-27 23:29:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Aunt Sally is a traditional throwing game. The term is often used metaphorically to mean something that is a target for criticism. In particular, referring to the fairground origins, an Aunt Sally would be "set up" deliberately to be subsequently "knocked down", usually by the same person who set the person up. |
