Well no luck there.

The supersearch box yielded nothing in the DT for Been on the Cholly or Been on the Charlie.

What was strange was I thought I'd at least get this thread for the key phrase "on the charlie".

But I got 5 messages in threads that included the name "Charlie".


Also, I couldn't find any lyrics or the origin of the phrase using Google .

That phrase wasn't in several books I have on the origin of slang and colloquial terms either.

Hmmmm.

Anybody else giving it a go?
