Question...

Just due to what mznwty wrote in a thread, but have had the confusion before....

Is it:

- Tide me over, or

- Tie me over?

Just been looking it up online and don't know what to trust, one says 'tide me over' was the original saying and the other came about as an error... and another says the complete opposite!

Help!

p.s. not picking on anyones grammar, honestly don't know!

i think its the language barrier lol!!

in scotland to tide me over means somethin that will do for the short term , example, there enough milk to tide me over till morning, means iv got enough to last till then!

tie me over well........... only if im in that kind of mood lol!! xx

Sure but I would always (ok well maybe not always! ) use 'tie me over' in the same way, hence the confusion!

If you say 'tide me over' its more likely spelt 'tied' and finished with 'the table, so he could....'

Well personally not sure how tide me over fits either?

Tie me over could be as in.... you tie one thing to another, to bridge the gap so to speak?

As a quoted expression it's hard to trace as it could be a correctly quoted 'error' thats causing the confusion.

As I have always know it to be 'tide me over' I will throw my lot in with that side of the debate; but also because its in line with the derivative words, tie and tide, as one is to secure, and the other is the ebb and flow of water keeping things going and/or covering this up for a short time.

I submit this as a rationalised answer, not the definitive one, as you need to start somewhere and like you, I cant find a definitive source.

I have only ever known it as 'tide me over'.... coming from 'tiding'... using the tide as a short term solution for there being no wind to move your boat.

Aparently the origin is from 'good/glad tidings' which itself originates from when servants used to be given 'tidings' i.e. gifts over christmas, to help them get through difficult times.

You learn something new...
