Did she give the audience any idea of what that means?
I haven't a clue.
Fill me in if you know, please.

I reckon it's akin to the southern expression, "well shut my mouth".

Luce,

My DIL says it all the time since she is a Brit and has me saying it too. One of my favorite British expressions.

Love, Maggie

Thanks for keeping me up to date. I'm such a recluse that I miss all the changes in the language -- no teens around! Ha!
