| Scrape the (bottom of the) barrel a vogue expression meaning 'considerable change', though it is now used so often and unthinkingly that it is in danger of becoming no more than another word for any change. The origin is the song 'full fathom five' sung by ariel, a spirit in shakespeare's the tempest (i, 2, lines 399-407), describing the drowning of the king. And here's another experience! Elephants can’t jump, every other mammal can.
