    What does "by the weight side" really mean?

    Question #111536. Asked by 29CoveRoad. (Dec 18 09 12:01 AM)

    In this site (full of horrible spelling!), it means holding a dumbbell by the enlarged end, rather than by the central handle.

    I can find a number of references to 'by the weigh side', most of which seem to be a play on words with the phrase 'by the wayside', referring to something which stops before it is finished.

    Man consumes about one fiftieth of his own weight in food daily, but a mouse will eat half its weight its own weight in a day. Thus, per pound of body weight, mice eat 25 times as much food as people, and yet they don't seem to grow any bigger. So where does it all go?

    A packhorse and a mule, both heavily laden, were walking along side by side. The horse complained of the weight of his load. The mule retorted, 'What are you complaining about...If they gave me just one of the sacks you are carrying, my load would be as twice as heavy as yours. On the other hand (or should I say hoof), if they gave you just one of my sacks, our loads would be the same.' If all the sacks weigh the same, how many sacks is the horse carrying, and how many is the mule carrying?
