DON'T TEMPT THE THING HIGH ATOP THE THING!!!!

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Etymology of the day is 'on tenterhooks' (not 'tenderhooks'): tenters, once a common sight, are wooden frames on which freshly milled cloth is stretched so that it dries without shrinking. To be on tenterhooks is to be as tense and taut as the cloth itself.
