kat, I'm not really sure where I heard it; probably from my father who often "borrowed" things that I thought were original to him! Once in grade school I had to write a limerick and was totally blank. He gave me one (didn't tell me it wasn't original) and the teacher had a big laugh over it. He also referred to me as "the traipsin' woman" and I didn't find out til Mudcat (Dick Greenhaus I think) that there was a real Kentucky Songcatcher that was referred to that way. He often quoted poetry as if it were his own..."Home is the hunter, home from the hills...There is something in autumn that sets my gypsy blood astir..." Wow, this pants/trousers talk brought back all kinds of nostalgia.
