This really is a serious question - random, but serious. And I'm hoping for some clarity.
Is a crock full of **** the same thing as a full crock of ****?
Is a crock full of **** the same thing as a full crock of ****?
I don't recall ever hearing either of those like that. I have heard of "a crock of ****" or someone/something full of ****.
well it's sort of the same thing, but in your example the crock or may not be full (of whatever...)
I do think there is a slight semantic difference between being a "full crock" and a "crock full"
(or substitute pot or cup or whatever for crock) -
the "full crock of ..." to me implies it's completely full, no room for any more
whereas the "crock full of ..." means it's pretty full, but not to the point of overflowing
just wondering if others see the difference or no?

And why do we say taking a **** instead of leaving a ****?
The phrase is " a crock of ****". Stating the alternative of crock full or full crock implies you are a foreigner or a Rockets fan (i.e. nutzo).
well I definitely agree on the "leaving" rather than "taking" - - that NEVER made sense to me
I remember though when I was very young I had a friend whose mother referred to it as "making a .... " like "Do you need to make a (Bobbie Martin)?" (well, just the initials, you know...)
That always made me have a fit of giggles. Then I'd get a lecture on how it was a natural process and I shouldn't laugh at it. Good times!

I don't think there's a meaningful difference between "he's a full crock of ****", "he's crock full of ****", "what a crock", or "crock of ****". The idiom carries the same meaning no matter how you prefer it.
Side note: crackpot was born on a very similar concept - instead of "a crock of ****" (lol @ Crock-Pot's name choice), it was a cracked earthenware that holds no water.

I have never in my life seen a crock full of asterisks. This is a common thing to you guys?
I don't care now that I have to leave a test today, leave my kids to school tomorrow, and leave them to music classes on Saturday. But I am a little upset my grafts didn't leave on my tree even though I'm not going to leave the trouble to fix the dead ends. I'm going to leave the train tonight to get home from work, but I'm going to leave a different route. I'm going to leave the temperature first because it might be pretty cold. First I have to leave a snapshot of the inventory I left or risk leaving a pay cut. The news has been hard to leave lately and sometimes I leave myself too seriously so I have to leave my ease on the porch. I ask my wife if she wants to join but usually leave it that she doesn't want to. I leave life a stride at a time and leave pleasure in the small things, such as reading Moe. Sometimes I can't leave aim in leaving a meeting. Everyone wants Trump to leave a back seat and just go leave a bath. I leave for granted way too many things.
I had to double check that this wasn't a babe post.

Leave two asterisks and call me in the morning.

Maybe you should take a leave.
Two asterisks would leave me to my knees, but I'll give it a try. What shall I name you in the morning?
Angel.

Doesn't the idea of a HERMIT MANIFESTO seem like a bit of an oxymoron?
ok, well maybe this isn't so random, but I was wondering who thinks Trump gets a lot of these ads on his computer?
LOL @ this post from 2-1/2 years ago...
but anyhow...
What is SHRIFT? And why does it always seem to be short?
Has anyone ever heard of a long shrift?
Well, I looked it up. It's a confession, in particular a confession given to a priest. That makes the expression "short shrift" even more confusing.

I think it kind of makes sense. A short confession is short/inadequate, so by giving something or someone "short shrift" you aren't giving it much consideration.
