What common phrase does this represent?

Please mark your answers with [SPOILER].

this is how we abbreviate "seventh" in spanish

7mo would suggest August, but I don't see what that has to do with an upside down owl?

(the 7th month is July) ;)

Hmm, the only time I hear "7 months" is when someone is pregnant, or an infant. Seven Month Old..."white baby" isn't really a phrase...

Something to do with Molybdenum? (Mo)

It's Leo, the 5th sign of the zodiac. July 23 - August 22. Turn the first letter upside down (L), rotate the next one 90 degrees counterclockwise, and you spell out Leo, which also happens to begin in the 7th month (and ends in BT's seventh month!)

Ok, ok I give up. What is it?

The gist of the phrase is already on this page.

If LMO is a girl with no behind ...

flip the bird?

Stevieb got it!

Congrats Stevieb. It's always so obvious after someone else gets it.

B.T. even said "upside down owl", but I still didn't see it. Now it's painfully obvious. ;)

Great line logic solve Joe. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Actually, though, it isn't flipped; it's rotated.

Given how whatzits torture the english language just by existing, using a colloquial usage of flipped doesn't seem too outrageous.

When an acrobat does a flip they rotate either forward or backward (rarely sideways), so flip would be acceptable. And besides that, Joe would be allowed artistic license for his great puzzles.

When you flip a coin, it rotates. Picture the word "owl" flipping like a coin. :) Same with an acrobat, really...
