What's a kaboodle?
My dad use to say "kit and kaboodle." We all knew it meant "everything." "Your mother went to a yard sale and bought everything, the whole kit and kaboodle."
Dad says it, so we all say it. But it just occurred to me that I don't even know what a kaboodle is. So I looked it up. Can you thing of a phrase you use that makes no sense on face value? |
According to Wikipedia (which is NOT to be trusted as anyone can put anything on there): Kaboodle is a spelling derivation of the English word "caboodle", meaning a group, bunch, lot, pack, or collection of things or people.
My parents used the phrase also. |
Happy as a Clam, how happy is a clam and how do we know it's happy?

What is a fell swoop?
|
I am quite, 'san fairy Anne' about the whole thing!

How about shebang?
As in one can get the whole shebang. |
What's the origin of the phrase 'San fairy Ann'?
A deliberate jokey corruption of the French phrase 'Ça ne fait rien' - it doesn't matter. source. Phrase finder. Actually where I lived in London, we used to say 'San fairy coppersticks' but where that came from I havn't a clue! |
Every time when we took a trip & my Dad drove at night, my Mom told us kid's to watch for pahdidle's.. Pah-did-le's are a car drive'in down the road with one headlight. We would count how many we seen. I still look for Pahdidle's to this day.
