You need to work on your gibberish, maybe take another measure of rum and loosen up the rode? Needs more scope. Sounds like your rubble is putting on a tizzy.

My head is spinnin'.

Okay. Idioms.

When your falcon comes back with a rabbit and perches back on your gauntlet then drops the rabbit in your free hand, you are done hunting and you need to secure the bird before you start walking back to your castle. The way to secure a hawk is to hitch the hawks leashes, which are attached to birds leg above the talons, to your gauntlet. This is done with a loosely tied knot. You tie the leash to the pinky finger of your gloved hand. And, now, the bird is-

"Wrapped around your little finger"

So when you put a ring on your future wife's hand...

Everybody knows what you mean but nobody remembers why, hence the term has become an idiom. If you are fresh off the boat idioms are nonsensical. If you can think the phrases through in context they may be vague but they are decipherable.

If you don't speak in gibberish the king's guards or soldiers might overhear you making plans to plunder the king's treasury. Can't have that!

Duckshot,

Nice explanation but unfortunately the wrapped around the little finger tends to backfire and they end up pushing our buttons.... if you're married long enough that is....

I've lived with my mom long enough to learn that I don't want my buttons pushed in the future, lol!

Don't plan on getting "hitched"?

Perhaps someday you will find a nice "bird" that does not want to "tie the knot" either, but one that fancies you as much as you fancy her.

It ain't good for a man to be alone around the clock, guys like that "wind up" talking gibberish.



But I can't remember why....
