      He was probably one of those annoying morning people who wakes up at 4 am, full of energy, and happy.

          Oh no, what did Eminem do. Hehe. Despite the implications of his very creative rhyming style, disgusting is not as similar to “discuss me” as he can make it sound.

    I greatly appreciate the explanation, because without it that’s NOT what I’d have assumed a “knocker-upper” was. The photo would not have helped.

    That’s if you had money, of you were broke you’d rent a penny layover and yes that’s where the phrase comes.

    You’d literally lay over a rope to sleep and they’d pull the knot loose at a set time in the morning, anyone still on it woke up when they hit the floor.
