LOL! OK...Thanks.

Yes, you're right "tall order" is a metaphor itself

Sorry for hijacking the thread. I actually just looked for the first
active thread I could find.

Best,

This will sound goofy, so please excuse...but is there a kayaking
equivalent to yelling "Bingo!" when something cool happens on the

I teach my sea kayak students to yell "Qajaqpunga!", which Mike Daly
assures me is Greenlandish for "We are kayaking." Otherwise, the choices
are "Whoa, gnarly!" or "What an extraordinary maneuver!"

And is there a metaphorical equivalent to the phrase a "tall order"?

I believe the phrase "tall order" is metaphorical itself. Unless you're
referring to Yao Min at the McDonald's counter.
