Re: The cat is out of the bag bitches
makes you wonder what story the "cat is out of the bag" phrase came from
Why would someone put a cat in a bag?
What is so special that the cat needs to be in the bag?
Why would you need to announce it that you took the cat out of said bag?
When will McDonalds bring back the McRib?

Re: The cat is out of the bag bitches
In medieval England, piglets were sold in the open marketplace. The seller usually kept the pig in a bag, so it would be easier for the buyer to take it home. But shady sellers often tried to trick their buyers by putting a large cat in the bag. If a shrewd shopper looked in the bag - then the cat was literally out of the bag. (By the way, the bag was called a "poke," which is likely where the phrase "a pig in a poke," which nowadays means buying an unknown, came from.)
An additional interpretation was submitted by a reader:
In nautical lore, a cat-o-nine had to be made new for each flogging. The whip was made, then put into a bag and held while the charges were listed. Then, just before the flogging, the cat would be brought out of the bag. In this usage, the phrase "the cat's out of the bag" meant something akin to "punishment is about to begin" or "the belt's off."
google, look into it
