(Spelling to avoid deletion) yes, when I first started work in 1976 in a manufacturing factory, on the first payday after I started, the Production Foreman started using that expression. I had no idea what he was talking about, but over the years I heard it many, many times, although not for some years now. Guess money going into your bank is not the same as the eagle's cash 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted May 9, 2020 #55 Share Posted May 9, 2020 The day the Eagle Sh#@s is another US thing from WWII as it was when workers for Uncle Sam got paid. I had never heard of this in normal life but did here it in some movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillpickle48 Posted May 9, 2020 #56 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Poets day was common in High Schools especially for those with the last period of the day free of classroom teaching. As school timetabler I cannot remember the last time I taught last period Friday. Those were the days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted May 9, 2020 Author #57 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Never been paid on a Friday’s ever where I worked, when it was cash, it was Thursday. Seems like an eternity since I last got paid in any form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
