Damn I like that expression! Never heard it before. Can't say me dad ever uttered it growing up, so I don't know if it's an English thing, a regional thing, or just a thing one picks up, but darn it...I likes it!
...and it's so Louis! ;)
ETA: Ha ha...Louis is off is meds!
There...I said it. That will bring him back just to beat me or lambast my thoughtlessness if nothing else. |
Here in France, it's quite common: "j'ai les dents du fond qui trempent", or "my back teeth are soaked"... |
You can't fool me. I've studied my Mark Twain and I know that that really means "I have the teeth of the back who soak."
