Or a cock and bull story?

Is the pope catholic?

I wonder if phrases have like an expiration date that makes them old fashioned. Some of the ones I've mentioned my parents said and I still say. I wonder when they become old fashioned?

Like maybe poppycock is old fashioned? Although it's a word my mouth enjoys saying.

I love poppycock and it's food now too, so it's obviously exempt from any old-fashioned deletion scheme.

With the exception of the zit zat one, yes. I am very familiar with the rest.

Poppycock is a food!! I guess it hasn't made it to Montreal yet. The market has to be such as to make it worth the price of repackaging in both French and English for distribution in Canada. Or maybe I just haven't seen it. I must confess food shopping, truthfully shopping in general, isn't my favorite way to spend my time so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that I just missed it.

Are ya'll talking about this poppycock?

I'm not sure if it can be considered "food" in the nutritional sense.

I love it, anyway.

oh that does look delicious. I don't think we have them in Montreal though. Next time we go over the border I want all the kinds except the chocolate lovers. I dislike chocolate except as an actual piece of chocolate. Then i'm all over that. And that's no poppycock.

Yes! That's what I was referring to.

It looks, smells and tastes a whole lot better than bullshit, doesn't it? I'm glad the meaning has shifted a bit.

Never heard that one.

To indicate her bill paying struggles my mother always said you can't get blood from a stone but I like your mother's better.
