......Ah, you have me there Rael! Sometimes, the crazy old saying from my
strange upbringing come forth, fogetting that no one else will have heard
them! Yes, I am part German, and my father is the one that coined that
phrase, I believe. He also used to say that something "leaned toward
Wickheizers" when it didn't stand straight........and we never knew that it
was in reference to a neighbors place ( last name wuz...yes, Wickheizer)
when something, such as a barn leaned a certain way.
So basically, in "the heat of the moment" I yell all sorts of thing.........:-)
Ta sweetie!
