With the exception of the zit zat one, yes. I am very familiar with the rest.





I used to get 'you make a better door than a window'.

Poppycock is a food!! I guess it hasn't made it to Montreal yet. The market has to be such as to make it worth the price of repackaging in both French and English for distribution in Canada. Or maybe I just haven't seen it. I must confess food shopping, truthfully shopping in general, isn't my favorite way to spend my time so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that I just missed it.

Are ya'll talking about this poppycock?


I'm not sure if it can be considered "food" in the nutritional sense. I love it, anyway.

oh that does look delicious. I don't think we have them in Montreal though. Next time we go over the border I want all the kinds except the chocolate lovers. I dislike chocolate except as an actual piece of chocolate. Then i'm all over that. And that's no poppycock.

Yes! That's what I was referring to.

It looks, smells and tastes a whole lot better than bullshit, doesn't it? I'm glad the meaning has shifted a bit.

Being a child of Texans:
"You don't even have a horse in that race"

Along the lines of "fuck me running"
"Fuck me running backwards"

I heard so many sayings when I was a kid...many have been stated already. The three that were most often said to me personally, though would be:
1. Don't put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow.
2. You're like a bull in a china cupboard.
3. Give ya a toothpick you'd tear the house down.
Uhh...i was a rambunctious child.

I was told I was like a bull in a china shop. I was suspicious never having seen an entire shop devoted to china, but apparently they exist. However, a bull in a china cupboard, now that would be tight... and impressive. Havoc would indeed be wreaked.
