    “In 1522, Sir Thomas More wrote (in ‘Four Last Things’): ‘It often happeth, that the very face sheweth the mind walking a pilgrimage, in such wise that.other folk sodainly say to them a peny for your thought.’”

    “Penny for your thoughts” is a much older expression. The “two cents” came much later; and Inflation was responsible for the difference … not the importance.

    In any event, the penny was the value placed on another’s thought; and the 2 cents was a self evaluation … expected difference.

    “Dropping a dime” must sound really weird to young people, since there are no pay phones, and they stopped being a dime about 50 years ago.

    I wonder if a character like Caulfield hasn’t read stuff already before it will be assigned in class. It’s what I did when I anticipated that some piece of literature will maybe come up.

    It’s a great way to be bored to death in class.

    The unsolicited opinion is actually only worth half a penny (0.5 cent)

    In for a penny, in for a pound, I always say. But then, I’ve always been penny wise and pound foolish. (And isn’t it fun that we still have a sense of what these relative quantities mean, lo, this quarter millennium after we gave up pounds in favor of dollars? Cubits for two bits, anyone?)

    What you’re saying is that time is more valuable than thoughts, as in: “A penny for your thoughts” as opposed to “a dime for your time.”

    Reminds me of the joke about a guy taking his lady to her first football game and her wondering why the coaches and fans were obsessed with a small amount of money as “they’re always yelling, ‘Get the quarterback’.”

    Dollars to doughnuts she’s right.

    (I stopped at a Dunkin’ the other month and noticed that a single doughnut now costs about a dollar. There goes another colorful expression…)

    If I want your opinion I’ll pay. Speak unbidden & you pay double. Sounds oppressive.

    If you do a lot of research, you will be putting out a lot of pennies to gather other people’s thoughts. Then you combine them into one single conclusion, and it is only worth 2 cents? Better hope someone else is funding this research.

    Caulfield has it wrong. The two cents is for an opinion you neither asked for nor wanted.

    A penny for your thoughts, but put your 2 cents in? Somebody’s making a penny. (Thanks Steve).

    A man called a woman a "two-bit whore”:she hit him with a sack of quarters.
