It means what Woody Allen once called "sex with someone you love."

I think it's one of those words white people quasi-borrowed (ie totally deformed) from New England natives. I always figured they called it "squash" because that's what you have to do to it. Cook it till you can squash it!

Item: we don't have acorn squash here and I miss them. I remember when the whole evening meal might be baked buttered acorn squash with cheese. Mom would figure one squash per person and we seldom wanted more than my homemade bread and jam to accompany. Delicious!

As a little kid I thought they were called cute-cumbers. And wondered why!

Nobody ever asks for my advice, which tells you something:) I have a bad Anglo Germanic accent saying: Ve have vays to m..."

Do you remember Laugh In? "Veeeereee interesting!"

She would normally say something was "arrant nonsense" or such as that, which is why the "bovine fecal matter" cracked us all up!

From a friend who really tries to avoid profanity but had been insulted below and beyond the call:

"That is pure bovine fecal matter!"

What also really makes me want to pinch babies and kick puppies is when someone asks you for advice and then always does the exact opposite of what you suggest. So why did you waste my time asking me? Was it just to eliminate alternatives, or to shore up your own flagging sense of superiority?

"I'll call you." No, you won't. The people who say this most often are the least likely to actually do it.

Reminds me of that old song: "Everything's jake, you can go on home--but don't sit with sandwiches by the phone. I told ya I love ya, now get out!"

Because they go sour so easily if you don't keep them sweet!

I may have mentioned, "Tomorrow is another day." Followed by "Morning comes early."
No sugar, Sherlock!
My mother always said it to make us stop doing whatever and go to bed.

Don't take this wrong, but...

or my non-favourite: "You know what your problem is?"

Yes--YOU.

Oh yes. "I'm only telling you this as a friend..,."

Or, "It's nothing personal, but..." You bet your backside it's personal!

"One Size Fits All."
No it doesn't. Trust me.
Should say: One Size Looks Terrible on All.

Almost as big a lie as "Easy Open."

I remember reading in These Happy Golden Years when Almanzo was talking about "maybe we can do this, or maybe we'll do that" and Laura responded "May bees don't fly in September."

Sorry, don't mean to wax poetical, honey.

You also battered the muffins, crushed the herbs, and blackened the chicken; and yet, you buttered up the bread, gently folded the ingredients..."

LOLOLOL!! Thanks for the morning giggle! You've got me scrambling to find an excuse! Looks like I poached on the wrong preserves!

I've been accused of beating eggs and whipping cream, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles!

Made me shell out for a whole dozen! That's what!

A boiled egg is hard to beat.

Can't argue with that, you'll just go round and round.
