Here are a couple more from my past (and my future)...<BR/><BR/>"What in the hen fuzz?" - Meaning, what in the world is that?<BR/><BR/>"I'll be a suck egg mule.." - In place of "Well, I'll be". <BR/><BR/>"They were on it like a duck on a june bug."<BR/><BR/>"He was happier than a hounddog in a butcher shop"<BR/><BR/>I'm sure there are more...
