This used to work well during blizzards to get your drive way plowed by the city, one fifth of booze put on an agreed place. Worked well during the Blizzard of 78.
See, this is what I like about Free Republic.
You can learn so much stuff here.
“A short dog of wine”
I had no idea what that was.
I had to look it up.
I thought it was a drunken dashhound or something.
Now, in order for me to remember it, I will have to find a way to use it in my conversation five times today.
“Hey, Honey! The kitchen faucet is leaking like a short dog of wine.”
Nawwwww.....that ain’t right.
“Honey! I’m going out to get the mail and a short dog of wine.”
Still not good.
Can you use “short dog” with other stuff or just wine?
I mean, could you like say, “A short dog of peanut butter” or “A short dog of shotgun shells”?
And if you can say that, can you say it three times fast?
I can’t.
