    I’ve told you a million times that you can’t use up all the answers as examples in your questions, GAWD!

    Oh. 
    I would have bet all the tea in China that a tough cookie like you would use your noodle to try and butter me up by posting things like chicken out, don’t be a ham, we got sauced last night, flat as a pancake . . .

      More from the peanut gallery, I see. I don’t relish all this sassiness I get from you, Little Missy, and if you knew what side your bread is buttered on, you’d do everything you could to avoid a dressing down from me. I’m pretty much a big cheese around here, people know me, and my home is outfitted in fine mahogany.

    Inquiring minds want to know:  How does "small fry" constitute either a food or beverage?

    In the south "he's a tall drink of water" is referring to a tall guy.
