Why can't grooms see their bride on the day before the wedding? Why is a swindle called a "double-cross"? Why do people say, "That's all she wrote"? Where did the word "Canuck" come from?

A great book for killing time & making conversation while driving along on a boring highway in Saskatchewan......Now I know the answer to "why" for alot of mundane things!
I think I could find some better answers to a few of these questions though.
