A to Z: Shyeah, Right!

 
If I told you we're so close to being done with the A to Z Challenge, that I've managed to keep up with every letter of the alphabet so far, would ya believe it? I hardly can myself, but it's true--see for yourself, starting from here: A to Z: Talk the Talk for Walking the Walk.

And just to show that I'm still sticking with the program, I'll put my money where my slang-speaking mouth is with this next installment of Twenties terminology...



~*~  TELL IT TO SWEENEY  ~*~
Meaning: Tell it to someone who'll care/believe it.

"I just did the Charleston with an elephant!"
"Oh, yeah? Tell it to Sweeney."

    1. Congrats to you, too, Kari, and good luck with the rest of A to Z! I'm still stumped on what I'll do for X. :)

    1. My achievement is pathetic compared to all the content the rest of you are writing for A to Z, but, hey, I knew that'd be the case going into it. :)

    2. OH, and you don't know how close I came to posting a photo of Sweeney Todd instead! I hear this expression was used often in relation to him when people started to suspect the ingredients of their meat pies...
