each to their own Explanation: It's actually - almost a French expression. Chacun son gout (there should be a hat over the u there) means, literally, everyone has their own tastes. HTH |

to each his own Explanation: Probably what was meant was the French phrase *chacun à son goût*, literally *each to his taste*. There is also the ?humorous? phrase: "There's no accounting for tastes," said the old lady as she kissed her cow. I favor *to each his own*, particularly as there is a famous once popular song by that name. The French phrase is often linked to the Latin phrase *de gustibus non est disputandum*, rendered as *there is no arguing about taste*. A German rendering might be *Über Geschmäcker darf man nicht streiten*. So, as they say, "you pays your money and you takes your choice!" . |
