I don't recall having ever heard of tenterhooks or tender hooks.
Also, I can't get excited about the difference between "set foot" and "step foot" since they both make sense.
As a kid I said "butt naked" and still may because it's more interesting. Or more likely, "butt ass naked".

"step foot" grates on the ear because it's redundant. You don't step with anything else but your foot. Also, "step" is normally an intransitive verb. You just "step"; you don't "step foot."

Can we rename this thread "OT: Idioms"?

Thread drift. A Cardboard hallmark. Love it.

Love this. I clicked on the last page of this thread, and there's nothing at all about 2018 Stanford Football Personnel, just some interesting conversation about word usage. Now I can't wait to scroll back and see just how this thread evolved...

Until I saw it in print here, I thought a shovel pass was a shuffle pass.

Also, it is a "hook and lateral" play, not a "hook and ladder". The reference is to the WR route (a hook) and what is done after the wide receiver does after catching it (a lateral), not to a type of fire truck.
