Ha ha ha. Oh you crack me up, @wwwiebe. This had me giggling all the way through. Yes, English is wonky. (Incidentally, where did that expression come from?) I wish I kept a journal of all the bizarre trendy expressions my kids adopted while they were in high school. Most of them defied any logic whatsoever, like cat's ass. I haven't heard that one until now, actually. Are you sure it isn't just a local fad in your home town? Right now one of my daughters, who is a freshman in college, has a kind of short hand language that she and her friends use, often shortening nouns to their first syllable. So, "I'm going to take a shower" becomes "I'm going to take a show" (pronounced like cow). She admits that even they do not always understand one another. I'm glad they are playing with language and bending it every which way for fun, but it's a good thing she's living in the dorm, or I'd be annoyed out of my gourd!
