My point exactly! The poster I was replying to made the point of regulating golf cart speeds. I was just taking his point to the extreme.

Well I guess we will not have worry about stripes for a while....

Well it turns out:
Boy Howdy « The Word Detective

“Boy howdy” is another Southernism, usually attributed to Texas and evidently popular in that state. It’s a simple combination of the exclamation “Boy!” (indicating surprise) and our friend “Howdy,” [AKA Howdy Doody] together used to mean “Wow!” or to indicate strong agreement with a statement or question (“Was your dad mad at you?” “Boy howdy! I’m grounded for a month.”). The phrase seems to have been popularized in the years after World War I, when returning soldiers who had heard it from Texans in the service brought it back to civilian life.

So I'm going to say Gracie was grounded all the time and you weren't.

Wasn't Boy Howdy a British pop star of the 80's. Or was that Howdy Doody? Or was that Boy George? Could have been Boy Doody, which seems more appropriate
