Spin it anyway you want Bass, but you remain wrong, including on the

But believe what you want.

BTW: I have never heard of picking nits. Is that a local saying?

Nit Picking and Picking nits are both fairly common expressions.

Nitpicking certainly is. I have never before heard anyone use the
expression 'picking nits' though.


They both are very common. Check out how often the expression is used
on the web.

I can remember in elementary school...the school nurse would find nits
in one kids head and all the class would need a daily combing with those
very fine tooth combs. Didn't pay to exchange hats.
Somehow I never got any nits at school.

Neither did I. I think it's too damned cold where I grew up for lice to
live!
