What a lot of snow Vermont had in February... and March! Shovel.... shovel.... shovel....
I was reminded of the phrase "The Big One" as I shoveled.
Many Americans refer to a heart attack as "The Big One." It means it is the "big thing" that will cause their death. Actually, people can die from shoveling too hard, too long. People can die from working too much.
No one wants to have "The Big One." Some American TV comedies have had "The Big One" as a topic. See "Sanford & Son" -- a popular show in the 1970s and 1980s.

Keep care of your heart. Don't work or worry too much. We don't want you to have "The Big One" too soon.
