blog protest!

* BTW: The idea of March going in like a lamb, out like a lion (or vice versa): is that a rural thing, a Midwestern thing, a more broadly American thing, or a more broadly everywhere thing?

It's definitely an American thing. I've heard it in the Southwest, Northwest, and Northeast.

It's not Polish for sure. Sounds like a British import to me.
I first heard it in R&H's Carousel: "March went out like a lion...., then April cried and stepped aside, and along comes pretty little May..."

It's not an American thing. I learned the phrase as a child, in Ireland.

I always thought it was just a rural thing, but then I moved to Minneapolis and everyone here says it, too.
