Mouthing Off

I don't know why it suddenly strikes me funny, that so many of our body parts are verbs as well as nouns.

Head for the hills. Face the music. Foot the bill. Back up. Butt out. Toe the mark. Arm the troops. Knuckle under. Heel!

What got me started on this was, the handle of the tea kettle being too hot to handle.

I just realized that KNEELING comes from the word KNEE. Of course!
