No kids and I'm not young. Political commentary shows was just an
example, "the gloves are off" is a very common idiom. I can't recall
ever watching the Disney Channel, but the expression is so common that
it's probably been used on there as well.

You have a very poor understanding of Goodwin's law, but that is to be
expected from somebody of your intellectual caliber.

I have no doubt that I am much more than your match intellectually.
It's a painfully obvious fact to almost anyone, but I can see how it
would not be obvious to you... if you know what I mean, but you
probably don't. :-D

as I said, as far as frequency of use it could be a regional thing(which
most idioms are)... it's not a very common thing in my area, or more
specifically with the folks I interact with... Never said I had never heard
the saying, but I also don't think you should automatically assume that
everyone hears/uses it as you do... For instance you could easily describe
Mario as "as dumb in the head as a hog is in the ass", which was a very
common "idiom" when I was growing up(yes we are rednecks) but I wouldn't be
a bit shocked if other folks had not heard it, or hadn't heard it as often
as I have.

if you were as up to date on sarcasm as you are on your (supposedly)
widespread idioms, you'd not keep doing the same...

Heh. I'm about to become a redneck, I'm moving to Kentucky in a few
months. I'll have to catch up on the local idioms.

come on now, you can't become a redneck... you can come live among us, but
you can't become one.... I've never been to Kentucky but hear it's a nice
place...

Perhaps I can't become a redneck, I guess you have to born that way :-)
We are moving to Lexington, my wife is a university professor, and they
have a great university. Everyone tells me it's a nice place to live, I
hope so, because it's a pretty drastic move. At least I can still keep
my job and can "telecommute". This is one of the places we will be
looking at: http://search.lbar.com/mls/details/r...al/819451.html

I'd actually be able to do my own work on my bug there :-)

his and her's houses, a big garage and a mud puddle! I love it!(geo thermal
heating and cooling in this region isn't really all that effective for two
of the four seasons, but is a nice feature.) Looks very nice...
