Re: Dog eat dog
"There's more than one way to skin a cat" i do know this one, it refers to the skinning of catfish and not your beloved felines my friends so rest easy, but the poor fish don't get a look in does it?Maybe that's where the other old saying comes from, "Making fish of one and flesh of the other" implying favouritism.

Re: Dog eat dog
I'm not so sure about that one.. If it referred to a catfish, it would say "catfish". There seems to be a number of variants of this.. a popular one being "There are more ways of killing a cat than choking it with cream." - this was quoted in the book "Westward Ho!"I think that the expression "Dog eat dog" may refer back to dog fighting and in a setting it means to be agressively competitive.
