I have been in electronics all my life, but never heard the origin. Once source says the first use of this sense was in 1896, but M might be able to find where and how it originated. The trouble with old stuff like this, is that the start of slang, if not published, won’t be recorded.

Set off a flash-bang just as she leaves. With any luck, it will induce temporary amnesia, allowing you a second chance.

That one is easy. If you remember the U.S. TV show Happy Days, it was a great success until the episode where The Fonz whet water skiing and jumped over a shark; then the show went down hill. Thus the phrase means success that has turned to failure, or at least the gild is off the lilly. There is even a Website based on it, if I can remember it. Let’s see… uh, it’s right on the tip of my tongue. Wait, wait, don’t tell me… Oh, yes, it’s http://www.jumptheshark.com. I think.

I suppose that, at one time, people must have worn separate pants on each leg. Thus they would normally need a pair. Same thing for glasses. However, going on that theory, one could assume that people also used only one scissor or shear (instead of a pair), which makes no sense.

It's champing at the bit (from ME champen), although chomping has increasing use by the public (even though it is incorrect). It refers to horses, eager to start, chewing on the bits in their mouths. Probably the origin is far to obscure to be known. How about using hot to trot, which is also kind of horsey. :grin:
