>>"Cut the mustard" is another interesting phrase. What exactly does THAT mean? And why is it only ever used in a negative sense? You never hear anyone say, "That guy can really cut the mustard."

Don't know about that one. I know the American "cut the cheese" :-)

Someone who "cuts the mustard" usually "knows his onions" as well ! ????

Do you know where "worth his salt" comes from?
