What part of the body is "The Scruff" ?
I was told that I should take someone by the "Scruff of the neck" and throw
him out....
Can you imagine going to the Doctor and telling him you have a pain in the
"Scruff" ?
The poor doctor would think you had gone completely off your Rocker.....
And whilst I'm here... what part of the body is the "Rocker" ? .... Good
Lord ... this is gettin more and more complicated ....

andon...
scruff = back of the neck from Old Norse skoft hair

Flyiñg Ñuñ 2°°6 +...
Yep, that's the bit of Sandie I used to inject his insulin into.

thus
scruffy = unkempt etc.,

off your Rocker = out of balance with the norm.

Any English doctor would be aware of these expressions.
