Subject:Re. "Up to your pippic(s)" From:Geoff Hart <geoff-h -at- MTL -dot- FERIC -dot- CA> Date:Mon, 1 May 1995 08:39:03 LCL
My local authority on Yiddish claims that "pippic" means
"bellybutton". Thus, FDR either misused the phrase ("pippics"), was
misquoted, or was talking about a truly unusual individual. Although,
truth be told, if you're up to your pippic in snow, you're probably up
to your testicles too... if not, you need help, fast.)
