There are meanings behind the names.But threre
are also words with meanings that originated from the names.English names it as follows:
STEEPLEJACK:
We
have seen spiderman and most of us might have seen the making of spiderman
noticing all the safety arrangements but it really continue to keep us amazed. Though
for a short time Also we are also amazed by people who stand on ladders as
high as coconut trees painting some ads on the cut-out,people who repair or
build something standing on an edge of the
buildings we look at with our chin upwards,people who have to climb trees which
look quite promising at touching the sky.We could call them spidermen or go on
with the word ‘sleeplejack’ that refers to such people.
ANNIE
GET YOUR GUN:
“சரோஜா சாமான் நிக்காலோ ” could be one expression that could match with this one in English.Needless
to say ,but it is my pleasure to say that it means to get ready to do
something.
DOUBTING
THOMAS:
I
have encountered this phrase while reading sujatha’s katrathum petrathum long
back and I am sure it has become a popular phrase among many now.But still let
me retell one more time.It is said that Jesus Christ had to appear before Thomas
and to show him his wounds as he refused to believe in the resurrection of
Jesus Christ.So who ever refuses to believe in something they have not seen by
themselves are called Doubting Thomas.
GREAT
SCOTT:
It
is just an exclamation said at times of surprise.It maybe originated from the
name of sir Winfield Scott,an American general who became too fat to ride a
horse.
When I think the most famous phrase in this
category all over the world ,the phrase that comes to my mind is ” Elementary,my dear Watson”. c u with more English.
