How ya gonna keep 'em down on the farm after they've seen Paree?
This rhetorical question is derived from the title of a song that became popular after World War I, in which it was wondered whether American soldiers returning from the war to their homes in the countryside would become dissatisfied with their old way of life after being exposed to the supposedly richer culture that prevailed in urban centers in Europe, like Paris.

Regional dialogue strikes again!
In the South, you'll hear 'doozy' in terms of things like... "Watch that first step, it's a doozy!" or "That tornado was a doozy and tore everything up!" ...so it has a negative connotation for me, as in a lot to handle if it's a person or something that does or has the potential to hurt people or things. I'm going to try to see it from your perspective and see if that changes things. |
