“Scraping the bottom of the barrel”
Proverb
“We really scraped the bottom of the barrel with our short bench. We needed a win to make our week a little happier.”
Claude Julien
“"Upon shaving off one's beard." The scissors cut the long-grown hair; the razor scrapes the remnant fuzz. Small-jawed, weak-chinned, bug-eyed, I stare at the forgotten boy I was.”
John Updike
“I heard a sound as of scraping tripe, / And putting apples wondrous ripe, / Into a cider- press's gripe.”
Robert Browning
“According to one critic, my works looked like scraped billboards. I went to look at the billboards and decided that more billboards should be scraped.”
Mark Tobey
“I laughed and I scraped it off. Then I thought that would be a great idea, to get somebody to go to everybody's house and write 'Go Carl Edwards, No. 99.'”
Carl Edwards
“If you scrape away all the white and black paint, you'd see tons and tons of emerald green.”
John Barthelmes
