What does the expression on tenterhooks mean?
Tenterhooks were used in the process of making woollen cloth. The saying 'to be on tenterhooks' originated from this method of controlled drying, used to mean being in a state of uneasiness, anxiety, or suspense.

Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold

Presumed it was our interaction which is hardly the most adjective laden debate we’ve had ever.
