Way to go wanderer! Toerags would be ornery kids, yep!

O.k......We've already covered "furtling about" in another thread, right? (wandering aimlessly)

How about "the bees' knees?"

Hey Doc:

re: "bees knees" GREAT!

That reminds me of a throw-back to the roaring twenties, slang, which, btw I DO NOT remember personally!!! Then it was the "cat's pajamas" and the "cat's meow" that one talked about. Hmmm could a bees knees also be the cat's pajamas? or would that be the "cat's whiskers"? Just wondering????

How about this then????? "The phrase "the bee's knees",
meaning "the height of excellence", became popular in the U.S. in
the 1920s, along with "the cat's whiskers" (possibly from the use
of these in radio crystal sets), "the cat's pajamas" (pyjamas were
still new enough to be daring), and similar phrases which made less
sense and didn't endure: "the eel's ankle", "the elephant's
instep", "the snake's hip". Stories in circulation about the
phrase's origin include: "b's and e's", short for "be-alls and
end-alls"; and a corruption of "business".

Excellent!!! (But I have to ask--do snakes have hips???)

O.k., how about this one?

"Fanny wobble"................What happend to the REAL Zimbo people here? Come on you guys; I'm going to run out of all the terms I know in another 6 or 8 posts--LOL!

I think I do the fanny wobble every day! Can we count that as exercise?

Awww Doc, don't worry, I won't beat anyone to the punch here. I think I know but I'd make a mountain outta a mole hill if I were to get all bent outta shape over letting someone else figure this one out!

Katie

OUCH, Katie!

Yes, for those who may have been reading between the lines, a "fanny wobble" is akin to what we Hoosiers call a "hissy fit!"

Anybody else have a Zimbo term they want to try out? Kimmie, where'd you go?

Well, I guess I don't do the Fanny Wobble every day...but my fanny does wobble a lot! I guess I better go check out the new diet thread...sigh.

OK OK for all you fanny woblers lets get some real Zimbo terms going How bout ;
PENGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Give us a clue - in what context do you use penga?

Baby penguin?

The context would be this: Kimmie is quite the penga hatter! Right, Kimmie? (Hope I got that one right.) It's a Shona word, if that helps.

er......
penga hatter?
snappy dresser? bargain hunter? It could be ANYTHING!! Help!

I would guess Mad Hatter is what Doc is getting at!!! LOL!!! Right Kimmie???
