    @Joe Blow: You probably meant "pigs in clover". "Pig in a poke" is something you bought that turns out to be a dud. Apr 2, 2014 at 11:51
  • Terp - thanks!! That's so weird, I meant to just type happy as larry". I've been sitting around happy as an unwashed programmer today, so I probably had in mind a pig in his sty, or some such :)

My impression is that grand was replaced by great in standard American English at some point. Heard it used in the radio drama "Gold-digger" 1947 recently. It must have been very common during World War II. Does anyone know more about this?
