Did you know?
You've heard people use the phrase, "chomping at the bit." You've also heard people use the phrase, "champing at the bit." Well, I looked up both "champ" and "chomp" today, and they are synonyms. Either one works before "...at the bit."
What about "traunch" and "trench" being the same? Traunch as in "The investment banker assesses credit risk and puts loans into one of three traunches. And trench as in "They dug trenches and fired rifles from them."
