Now you know what it means to get the bird.

Initially published in 1798. On the surface, this is a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge about a mariner who dispatches an albatross. Of course, it is a metaphor and has a deeper significance. Anyone can tell the tale, but not as well (and as graphically) as Coleridge. It is interesting how people who never really read the poem quote and misquote the poem. One thinks having an albatross around one's neck is because the bird is bad luck, not that the bird brought good luck until it was dispatched.
