How Long is “A Country Mile”?

What’s the origin of the phrase a country mile? Vida from Rochester, New York, says her husband often uses it, as in “go about a country mile and then make a left.” The expression goes back at least 300 years in the United Kingdom and has long meant “an approximate distance.” Bumpy, unpaved, curvy roads out in the countryside may make a real mile feel much longer. Variants include Irish mile, Welsh mile, Scots mile, and Kentish mile. The idiom often turns up in baseball, where announcers exaggerate the distance by saying a ball was hit a country mile or a pitch missed by a country mile. The word mile itself comes from Latin for “one thousand,” suggesting the measure of “a thousand paces.” This is part of a complete episode.

Their starting running backs combined for 65 carries and 361 yards in the sectional finals. These teams are not identical. They did, however, take similar paths to the Class A crossover. Both teams looked untouchable for a month. Both stumbled late in the regular season. Both overcame adversity to win a championship. But only one can represent Section V in the state tournament. Here’s a look at how Hilton and Canandaigua got here, and how they might match up Nov. 13 at St. John Fisher University. More: Hilton offense powers Cadets past Brighton to football title Overcoming adversity Fairport spoiled Canandaigua’s Homecoming. No one had touched the Gray Wolves in the four weeks leading up to their 21-7 defeat . They have not been beaten since.
