Have you ever heard the phrase: "Thats like pulling chicken teeth" ?

Yes, but I heard, %26quot;It%26#039;s like pulling hen%26#039;s teeth%26quot;. Since chickens don%26#039;t have teeth, %26quot;it%26quot;, whatever %26quot;it%26quot; is, is very hard to do.

Have you ever heard the phrase: %26quot;Thats like pulling chicken teeth%26quot; ?
No, but maybe it means doing something near impossible?

Reply:NOt near impossible that means it is impossible. When Pigs fly is the more popular phrase.
Reply:No, but I have heard of the similar phrase:%26quot;As scarce as hens teeth%26quot; meaning impossible to find, or the thing doesn%26#039;t exist.
Reply:yeah but chickens don%26#039;t have teeth and it is a very old saying, in other words it can%26#039;t be done because they have no teeth, they have beaks.
Reply:No.


%26quot;like pulling teeth%26quot; or,





%26quot;scarce as hens%26#039; teeth%26quot;.
Reply:I have not heard that one before , I would guess that maybe someone back in the day was trying to pull something out of a hoof of horse or something very difficult and came up with that. I have some good sites here if you like sayings and where they came from , but I have yet to find that one sorry.
