I actually have two questions about the origins of two phrases. The first is the phrase "ass backwards" or the funnier "bass ackwards". I also wanted to know the origin of the phrase "... to go whistling through a graveyard."

Some information about the second part here:www.phrases.org.uk bulletin_board 32 messages 352.html
