So on an early morning telecon with a senior person, several senior persons, when someone gets a ticket for not using a hands free, and commences to swear a blue streak.
I mention the concept of swearing a blue streak, only to be met with raised eyebrows.
This "swearing a blue streak" of which you speak, what is that?
My granddaddy taught me that meant you were chosing to toss out your most explicit, most profane, most obscure swear words, usually denigrating the other person's gender or sexual performance (no, he didn't teach me that part, that was googled, and preferably not in their presence) but usually used while regaling someone else with whatever adventure you were recounting.
And yet oddly, when I google this term today, I find lots of hits that link LBJ and JFK, two men who were known for swearing, being profane, and explicit, and doing lots of sexual performance type things with people of the other gender.
Co-inky-dinky?
