"One of them was Hank Brown," Jack informed her unemotionally. "I met him close as I am to you, and he swung off and went the other way. Last time we met I licked the daylights out of him, and I guess he hasn't forgotten the feel of my knuckles. Anyway, he stampeded." "Well, forevermore!" Marion was indignant.
"Three-four licks on the oars up theh, and down yeah yo' save pullin' yo' livin' daylights out, to keep from goin' onto a sandbar or into a dryin'-up chute." "How's that?" Rasba cocked his ear. "Say hit oveh slow!" "Why, if yo's into the set of the current up theh, hit ain't strong; yo' jes' give two-three licks an' yo' send out clear.
'Lucky if he is one, retorted Captain Ladofwax, reddening up to the eyes; 'he may have a chance of repairing somebody's daylights. The captain raising his saucer, to discharge it at his opponent's head. 'Gently with the cheney! exclaimed Lady Scattercash, who was too much used to such scenes to care about the belligerents.
Some laughed, others swore, and one suggested that Gaff should be thrown overboard. This latter, who was a big strong man, and a sort of bully among his mates, shook his fist at Gaff, and said "Now, I'll tell ye wot it is, Mister Toogood, if you go for to tell the cap'n wot we've bin a-talkin' about, I'll knock yer two daylights into one, so see that ye keep yer tongue in order."
"And grind our daylights out again on that there drum that never does git wound up?" groaned Big Medicine, and felt his biceps tenderly. "We won't rush the next job quite so hard," Luck soothed, perfectly amiable and easy to live with, now that the worst was over.

I hardly knowed him! He stood like an Injun, with the big muscles bulgin', an' his face was clean an' dark, his eye like fire.... He nearly shook the daylights out of me.
Any roughneck could sail into a guy and knock the daylights out of him, but how few could be clever and flashy and scientific? Few, few, indeed, thought Mr. Butler as he slid in and led once more. Something solid smote Mr. Butler's nose, rocking him on to his heels and inducing an unpleasant smarting sensation about his eyes. He backed away and regarded Ginger with astonishment, almost with pain.
Not dreaming of any danger in that direction, the robber only thought of guarding his "daylights" against the hornbill upon the wing.
"Leastways, you may if you like, but if you do, I'll knock in your daylights, an' polish up your figur'-head so as your own mother would mistake you fur a battered saucepan!" The seaman did not move from his semi-recumbent position as he uttered this alarming threat, but he accompanied it with a portentous frown and an owlish wink of both eyes.
Can't you see that if you would use your force, your keenness, and persistence helping mankind in some way teaching, preaching, lending a hand to the poor, or helping to fight organized greed, you would get more of God's work done than you will by squeezing the daylights out of your fellow-men, making them hate money because of your avarice, and end by doling it out to them in charity?
