Where's that phrase "you bet" come from, anyway? Isn't that a strange thing to say, when you think about it? I think I use that a lot? Do I? Should I? I don't even gamble.

I'm glad. Gamble is bad for the soul.

Thanks, Panana. I probably meant to say "you betcha."

I use the phrase "there you go" all the time, both when actually giving something to someone and when discussing more ethereal topics. I never once thought it could be odd until I visited my friends in England and they all looked at me like I had four heads.

"Where do I go?"
"Why am I going there?"
"What does this have to do with my beer?" <-- A particularly important question, considering how the average englishman feels about his beer.
