I don’t know it off the top of my hand

Posted: April 2, 2013 | Author: | Filed under: hand, head | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , |1 Comment

This is a mash up of “off the top of my head” and “offhand”, both meaning to say something without preparation.  Hand and head both look and sound similar, and are both body parts, all adding to the confusion.   I have heard this one many times in conversation and in meetings.
