Squirrels to Live By # 3

“People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw squirrels.”

Our research team had a devil of a time trying to track down the true meaning of this well known cliché. All we were able to discern is that the original phrase is as stated above. We can ponder that at their peak in popularity “squirrel” was used to replace all types of words, and in this example it replaced the term “rock.” This was probably an attempt to make speech sound hip and fun. “Man, you squirrel,” or “Did you hear that squirrel, it has a killer beat?” It can be reasoned that the effects were actually confusing and therefore this type of squirrel slang was abandoned. However, I think we can all agree it would be wise for those that live in glass houses to not throw anything, especially a precious little squirrel.
