I understand what is meant by most sayings I just don't get where they came from and why. Like "Bob's your uncle". Why is that a saying? I've used it myself, it's just.........why?

"now we're suckin diesel" is pretty much now we're away/on the right track/talkin etc... is it not?
Ahh heya!

The age of a horse is often determined by checking its teeth and the amount of teeth left. So you do so by looking in the mouth of a horse. In the old days, when a horse was given to someone, it would be deemed rude to check the age of the horse by looking in its mouth. Hence the saying and its meaning.
It is rude to check a gift for faults etc.

Total guess here Trap, as you know, the 'craic' is an old Irish expression for 'fun' or some such derivative of. The only thing I can think of for '90' is the old RPM max speed of a vinyl record player, maybe it is a suggestion the craic couldnt be any less. Total guess, be happy if somebody could correct it.
