My great grandmother, Granny May, was quite the character. She had a razor sharp wit, and loved puzzles and riddles. I adored her, unconventional and free spirited, she was a constant source of inspiration.

She also had these hilarious sayings and bon mots that she would whip out from time to time.

One that I never understood was, "There are two types of people in this world, those you can reason with and those who are arse on."

I thought this meant: Some people you can reason with, while others just 'get their butt on their shoulders' (another hilarious phrase she often used).

But, no.

Today, I had lunch with an aunt and we were reminiscing about Granny May.

When I brought up this saying, she explained that 'arse on' was an anagram for 'reason.'

So, essentially it means that there are some people you can reason with, while others just get it twisted.

Clever Granny May.
