me too!:)
Nothing special really!
When I have to use a number like, "I have told you a thousand times"....for some reason, I always say "I have told you eleventy-three times"!
I used that in the chat the other night and LHPMOM got a kick out of it!:D
ROFL Good'n mom...i knew there had to be SOMETHING behind it...that would crack me up too!
Kinda like saying something costs "a dollar three-eighty".

Well, you got to be careful and not use the wrong number, LHPMom---umpteen is a bigger number than eleventy-three.Quote:

Of course! In the situation at work today, umpteen would've been an exaggeration. :DQuote:

BTW, Bull, my favorite "cost" would be "a nickel ninety-five". ;)
lol, LHPMom. And how about some of those good old expressions for other things, like:
tee-niney for "very small"
beaucoup for a "bunch"
gill- flirted for "messed up"
and the younger generation has their own set of expressions for degrees of things...
