Do banshees clean? I am not saying this to pick on you, but I have noticed a proliferation of "...like a banshee" in conversations and on television lately and I don't understand why. I thought the original metaphor was "scream like a banshee" because banshees are know for wailing, right? But "clean like a banshee" or "cook like a banshee" doesn't seem to make much sense.
