Many of us are probably familair with the expression "Happy as a clam" and though most expressons generally tend to be based on something that has some logic or reason behind it, few perhaps understand just what this one means, as it appears as nothing but nonsense. But the problem is that over time, the original phrase had been simplifed.
Originally the saying follows: Happy as a clam at high tide" becasue during the high tide is when clams are protected from poetential preadators, and they are safe.
