He styles his hair in such a way that he has two "horns" in the front. His ears are set rather low on his head, and his eyebrows are the same shade of red as his clothes, while the rest of his hair is a darker red-brown color. His chin is rather large and the top of his head is quite flat. His upper eyelids are a pink color, while the lower one is periwinkle.
#Hook and barrel skin
His skin is an unhealthy grayish-white color, his eyes are an eerie yellow and his lips are sky blue. His brown shoes have pointed toes that curl upward. Lock is dressed as a devil, wearing a plain, long-sleeved, long red shirt, and pants of the same color. He proves himself to be right occasionally, such as when he insisted Santa Claus can fit into anything (i.e. However, he goes along with others' ideas if he cannot come up with anything himself. He loves being large and in charge, and gets upset when others insult him or take the lead. His barbed tail is actually real and connected to his body. Lock wears a devil costume his teeth are pointed sharply, his face is narrow with a pointy chin, and his hair is waxed into two horns, making him quite literally a handsome devil. Lock is the leader of Oogie's Boys, but does not always think thoroughly and actually appears to be just the second most intelligent, next to Shock. And Jack said to make him comfortable, didn't he?” ―Lock discusses taking Santa Claus to Oogie Boogie The first use of the phrase in print found so far was in a letter written by Sir Walter Scott in 1817: “Like the High-landman’s gun, she wants stock, lock, and barrel, to put her into repair.” Michael Quinion, at his excellent World Wide Words website (suggests that the phrase may only have come into use when the mass-manufacture of flintlocks in factories became common, making the individual parts - the locks, stocks and barrels - more standardized and interchangeable.“ There's no where in the whole world more comfortable than that. The surprising thing about “lock, stock and barrel” is not that it refers to an antique firearm, but that muskets had been in use for several centuries before the phrase first appeared. The “lock” of a musket is called that because the mechanism resembled early locks such as might be found on a door. The “lock” is the firing mechanism, the “stock” is the wooden bit you brace against your shoulder, and the “barrel” is the long tube down which the bullet travels. Meanwhile, back at your question, I don’t think many people actually built their own muskets when muskets were in vogue, but “lock, stock and barrel” does indeed refer to the constituent parts of the firearm. There’s another argument for letting the cat drive. For some reason, however, my mind (tricky little devil that it is) always substitutes “turncoat” for “turnkey,” raising the specter of traitorous laundromats and disloyal delicatessens lurking out there somewhere. My understanding is that such “package deals” are known today as “turnkey” offers, meaning that one need only “turn the key” in the lock to be up and running whatever one is running. By the way, I like your original “bought the store” explanation of “lock, stock and barrel,” meaning “all of it, everything, the whole thing,” especially the barrel of pickles. So, is this National Musket Month or something? This is the third question I’ve answered lately that involves muzzle-loading firearms. As long as I keep him away from cliffs (the dreaded Toonces Syndrome), I’m sure he’ll do fine. No long trips, of course, but surely he (I’m thinking Gus would be the best bet) could run to the Post Office for me a few times a week. Actually, come to think of it, maybe now I’ll have time to teach one of them to drive, which would be enormously handy. And now that you folks don’t need me anymore, I’ll be downstairs, counting the cats. So, if you bought a complete “gun” it was “lock, stock and barrel.” How did I do? - Paul Reynolds. Then, as I was looking for parts to fix an old flintlock rifle, I realized that in the days of flintlocks people may not have bought a complete gun, but bought the parts. Dear Word Detective: I always thought that “lock, stock and barrel” meant that if you bought a store complete it came with the lock to lock the door, all of the stock in the store and the barrel (presumably filled with pickles or beans or…).
