I've always thought the phrase "Watch your head!" was kind of stupid... how are you supposed to do that?! (Unless you have a mirror, I suppose...)

The context has been lost these days, but "Watch your head" is shorthand for "Watch out because we're passin' through a place with a low ceilin' and ya might smack ya head here an' knock yer silly self out cold..."

Just like: 'The last place I looked'

Would be: 'The last place that I would have looked'

"To each his own" is grammatically correct. The pronoun 'his' is in this case gender neutral, making the change to 'her' unnecessary. It is incorrect to say "to each their own" because 'each' is singular and 'their' is plural.

One of my pet peeves.

Makes sense.
