Nail my feet to the floor

Nail my feet to the floor... is a statement of intent. A commitment to "stay" when one's response might be to "leave."

(Lyrics by Amie Rankin) I hear the call of an open road, telling me it's time to go, oh please, nail my feet to the floor.

The mice are feet up.

Certain death is imminent. Doom is nearby. Taken from Condoleeza Rice's account of a feared biological poisoning that took place during George W. Bush's presidency. While waiting for test results she was told by an assistant "if the mice are feetup" (meaning the mice lying on their backs dead) then they would soon be dead themselves. If the mice were feet down (meaning the mice were up and walking about), then they would live.

"Dude! What's wrong?"

"The mice are feet up. My girlfriend caught me cheating on her."
