Right, can't think of any more anagrams, so I'll give you a guess the meaning word...

"Salad Days"... and for an extra point, where did it originate?

More Shakespeare wordage there. Someone must be a fan, there seems to be a few questions based on his works recently :wink:

Salad Days refers to your naíveté in youth. Its from one of the Shakespeare plays, though i dont know which one. You don't seem to hear it that much any more.....i get a feeling it could die away with todays youth :wink:

Well done Matt.

salad days

The time of youth, innocence, and inexperience, as in Back in our salad days we went anywhere at night, never thinking about whether it was safe or not. This expression, alluding to the greenness of inexperience, was probably invented by Shakespeare in Antony and Cleopatra (1:5), when Cleopatra, now enamored of Antony, speaks of her early admiration for Julius Caesar as foolish: "My salad days, when I was green in judgment, cold in blood."

Over to you
