"Uneasy lies the head"...and all that! Give me the life of 'commoner', thanks.

I've not heard that expression before...crazy as a loon, yes, but not bedbug.

And all this time I thought it was a brand of household soap. Tsk.

And for those of us who didn't know: Snuff is a smokeless tobacco made from ground or pulverised tobacco leaves. It is inhaled or "snuffed" into the nasal cavity, delivering a swift hit of nicotine and a lasting flavoured scent (especially if flavouring has been blended with the tobacco). Was that the same as "take a powder"? Or was the powder something else?
