[Q] From Lee Becker: What’s the meaning and origin of on tenterhooks?

[A] It’s been so long since anyone has seen either a tenter, or the hooks on one, that the word and the idea behind it are now quite mysterious, so much so that it sometimes appears as on tenderhooks, which sounds as though it ought to make more sense. But at one time, the phrase on tenterhooks would have evoked an image that was immediately understandable.

Yer right fatboy a real rib tickler. :faf:
