Rich":2bgwneej said:I am led to understand that the side of a plane is referred to as the "Arris" I am told this led to the phrase of putting someone on their Arris, often confused with axxe.
Does anyone know any different?
Rich.
An "arris" is a sharp edge where two faces meet. The use of aris to mean pineapple has, I believe, its origins in rhyming slang.
(derivation: Aris = Aristotle = Bottle = Bottle and Glass = buttocks).
