Three Sheets To The Wind
This phrase can be used by anybody who has ever been drunk in the past. In more ways than one, we tend to overestimate ourselves! You’ll probably say you’re all right when you’re on your way to getting drunk. Well, we bet that that’s not what your friends agree with. Trust us. If you do not want to make bad decisions, you should trust them! This is where the phrase at issue comes in. The phrase sounds nautical because it is. A “sheet” is a rope that is unmoored, flailing about in the wind like a drunk person.

Madder Than A Wet Hen
We have to admit that never before have we seen a wet hen. The term is, however, not meant to be taken literally. It means that you should not provoke her anymore if a woman is said to be “madder than a wet hen.” You never know, after all, what she will do when pushed to the limit! This is pretty similar to the old saying that goes, “Hell has no fury like a woman scorned.”
