Isn't it strange that after a bombing everyone blames the Crazy Azz bomber(s), but after a shooting the problem is the gun?

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!

Well, you got to be careful and not use the wrong number, LHPMom---umpteen is a bigger number than eleventy-three.Originally posted by LH Panther Mom

Of course! In the situation at work today, umpteen would've been an exaggeration.Originally posted by Bullaholic

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...
