That might be a smidge

Half a Shebang is what you have after a divorce. :cus:

Colder than a Witches Breast???

No ever gets "half the enchilada" either.

I don't know if that counts since you know what it means on face value. By the same token, the same could be true for punch buggy. But "by the same token" does count.

As a young lad of 15 my father told me, son “never go out into the rain without your rubbers” Sadly, I never took his advice [emoji53]

Ooo Geee-Whit-a-cures what's next?

How about, "You juked, one, two..." Usually administered by my older brother.

Or did he make that up just so he could hit me.

maybe--- I can't find it.

Is this is just a local thing?

How about if you saw an empty pack wrapper of Lucky Strikes on the ground' you would step on it and say "Lucky Strike, Strikes back." and punch someone in the shoulder.

Somebody who is probably long gone invented that, no royalties.

As we all where kid's at one time. U had to play marble's with ur friends. Even the girl's played. Back then I had "BOO-COO" of them in a Big bag.

If I remeber--the agee was the most important one. I lost my marbles years ago. Which also qualifies as an expression that doesn't make sense on face value.

I think the "you juked" thing was kind of like the "made you look" thing with a penalty at the end

This is the closest I could come:

1. Urban Dictionary: juke
   
   Urban Dictionary: jukeEn cache
   
   1) To defeat an opponent by using subtlety, cleverness, or a trickery. To force an opponent between choosing between two negative options (both of which benefit you).

I knew some people that didn't have much Scruples back in the day. Plus some weren't play'in with a Full-Deck ether....:popcorn:

My grandpa told me he would "Slap me naked and sell my clothes", after I put a dead water moccasin just around a bend in his footpath to the well.
