No rest for the ......

[DuffmanOhYeah]

now is it weary or wicked? If you can answer, please provide the etymology of whence it came.

I'm pretty sure it's weary. I have no idea where it came from though.

 

[Siva]

i think i've heard both

 

[Hamburgerpimp]

No rest for the wicked. Ozzy Osborne stole it from somewhere.

 

[LethalWolfe]

I think either way goes now. I'm assuming it was originally "No rest for the weary" and someone changed "weary" to "wicked." And since "No rest for the wicked" sounds cool it stuck

I always thought it was "No rest for the horny.

 

[jjones]

the proper saying is:

"No rest for the wankers."
