Talk:Beggar thy neighbour

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] beggar? really?

I've never heard this phrase before, but I have a feeling it ought to be "bugger thy neighbor," which makes more sense. Is this really worth an article? Merge with NIMBY? stephan.com 21:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Card game

I vaguely remember 'Begger-my-neighbour' mentioned as a card game in Dicken's novel Great Expectations. I suspect this is the origin of the term? --Surturz (talk) 04:49, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
