I think I'm good on all of it except "500 pound, n' 55 rabbits."
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck does that mean?
Lost me on that as well!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I had a friend growing up who was a Newfie. His father had all kinds of expressions and I didn't understand half of what he was saying.
ReplyDeleteLike Pat I'd like to know what that phrase means.
Count me in as the clueless to the 500 pound, 55 rabbits comment! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I caught it all except the big bunnies...but you expected that, didn't you?
ReplyDeleteFrom what I can see you are talking about how much your mudder loves Spam.
ReplyDeletePTM is close, except their spam isn't from a can.
ReplyDeleteyou just made me think of an old saying from where i grew up, where if someone asks you how much something cost, the reply is "a buck two eighty".
