Did you notice this about 4711? This won't go over well with the LGTQABCQWERTY crowd. "Dispel headaches or heaviness or

So many strange expressions that aren’t understandable now. One of the Livingston poems has a line “said with a fegs” which now just seems bizarre. I believe it means a shrug.

I remember once, when my little brother was young and all tuckered out, and fell asleep in my Mom’s arms, my grandma said, “that little boy is all fagged out”.

I had one of those Tuff Stuff drills. I'm surprised my mom didn't cut the string on it so it stopped making drill noises.
