    Isn't that what they used to say in the 1950s?  Can remember my father saying that.

    That's kinda odd if true Gk since he's a Brit and I'm pretty sure it's of American derivation. I'm gonna Google it but the dictionary says "1860-65 Amer. of obscure origin". Wonder who coined it? Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday. I think Michael Caine is nifty! :)

    It could very well be true m'dear. Michael Caine was in America a lot for movies and maybe he just adapted to using some of our words. OR that was what the writer gave him to say! Thank you Gk! :)
