my kid has found a new hobby. tt is.... biting her chair. yesh. she bites her chair and told me its yummy and SWEET?! wth. she even asked me to gif her a few mins brk so tt she can bite/nibble it. so now her chair got her teeth makings, i bttr not sit tt chair if not her saliva..... ~~~~~
but i kinda felt a sense of satisfaction when i saw her applying my methods for maths or using abit more chim english. she told me she nvr use "happy/sad/angry" for her compo, instead she used my given vocab "elated/depressed/furious". AISEH! dunno got bluff me anot.. but still.. gd enuff.

okie. i've juz check it out. im somehow near to it.
The phrase "man of straw" first appeared in print in the late 16th century. Thomas DeQuincey used it in its current sense in 1840 (Works).
In the past, the term was also used to describe an impoverished person or indigent. This usage is rare today, however.
Apparently, the original "man of straw" was a man of little substance or means in the monetary sense (i.e., poor). These people were likely to sell their services as witnesses. Supposedly, the sign of their availability was a straw in their shoe. Thus, "man of straw" (or the equally common straw man) came to mean one who let himself be used for others' purposes.
