So Where Does 'Splash, Out' Come From, Anyway?
I Get a lot of emails asking me 'what does 'splash, out mean?'
Well, in the United Kingdom, it means 'to spend a bunch of money.' Roughly analogous to the American expression, 'to shell out.'
That's not where I got it from, though.
The term actually comes from the procedures for calling for and adjusting indirect fires, such as artillery and mortar fire.
So maybe it does mean, "shell out," after all.
Splash, out :-)
