Since the Peloponnesian War!
Tells us there are more,

I grew up in a family,
Where they used these terms at will.
They'd hoist a few with the best of them,
Cross their fingers and fill the bill.
They'd let sleeping dogs lie,
Keep their noses to the grindstone,
If they rubbed someone the wrong way,
They'd leave well enough alone!
