No. West of you.

I learned of the real meaning of that phrase in TaiChung in Taiwan at a missionary retreat.

There was a 70 plus year old missionary widow there who’d had 10 kids on the mission field . . . all of whom were doing fine as adults. And I said that phrase one day and she informed me of what its true origin was.

And all those years prior, I’d assumed it was about a flood swollen creek of water.

LOL.
