In the form of "rocks all the way down", the saying dates to at least 1838, when it was printed in an unsigned anecdote in the New-York Mirror about a schoolboy and an old woman living in the woods: "The world, marm," said I, anxious to display my acquired knowledge, "is not exactly round, but resembles in shape a flat...
