Cool Orchids & Onions...

Hi All,
Does anybody know where the idea to use the word orchid to describe a kudo? I've seen this in some articles where the word orchid was used to describe something good and the word onion was used to describe something bad. I'm just curious...
Thanks,
Andrea

Orchids & Onions (aka Cheers & Jeers) is an old newspaper term for handing out positive and negative feedback.
I guess a cruder form of the expression would be Flowers & Farts

Dorothy, you made my day.

I haven't been too happy this afternoon so a good laugh was in order. My A/C isn't working. Thank goodness for fans.
