When American Indians referred to something happening "many moons ago," they were using a way of measuring time based on the lunar cycles. A "moon" typically represented a month, as the phases of the moon were a natural and reliable way to track time. This expression reflects their deep connection to nature and the rhythms of the environment, emphasizing a long passage of time in a more poetic and meaningful way than the calendar months we use today.

Where did the saying It's going to be a corker come from?

The origin of the word "corker" itself comes from something used as a stopper in a wine bottle. It came to be used to mean something great and remarkable, as in something that will top anything that has happened before or since. The saying "It's going to be a corker" is literally saying that the festivities ahead are going to be so wild and so fun that they will put the lid on any future fun that could be had.
