Never Knew ?...Now You Do

Possible a new weekly post idea. What do you think of a weekly "Where did that phrase come from" Post ?

OK.... Where did the phrase "Don't get your dauber down" originate?

... via wiki.answers.com

It comes from an old painters tool called a dauber. When painters would get sad and stopped painting it was said that they "had their dauber down"
