Dear Reader!
Oops… I made a ” Boo Boo” -I finished the blog for today but then saved it to the 29th that was yesterday. š A ” two-fer” as Anne told me. Two blogs in one day so I decided to let you know it was a mistake …while this expression kept popping up giving me more funny origin histories.
So here are a few…The expression first appeared in 1862. It was described as ” when a child in play is assisted in a spring leap from the ground or to console a small child after falling.
In another popular movie-Tombstone -the most popular quote comes from ” Doc” Holliday who mutters… referring to another gunfighter as ” No Daisy” at all. ( Daisy meaning ” to be the best or most marvelous. )
( Doc Holliday also left the funniest ending to a life… he looked around his death bed and he was lying in bed with his boots on…. he, observing his feet too swollen to get his boots off started laughing … ” I am dying in bed with my boots on “( not shot down by another gunfighter) his laughter turned to coughing and then he was gone… as the tale goes ” Doc Holiday died laughing with his boots still on!
Hope you enjoyed some fun facts and now have a great day!
Ahh, yes! Doc Holiday stole the show in Tombstone and my other favorite line was āI’m your huckleberry!ā
