A perfectly cromulent word

As an addendum to my last post, I feel obligated to note that a friend of Ann's read it and emailed me to say that she couldn't understand why anyone wouldn't know all three of those words/phrases. She did admit, however, to not knowing whether that was the result of growing up in the same county as Ann, attending the same college, or just hanging around Ann long enough to have absorbed them through osmosis and become subconsciously (though quite erroneously) convinced that they are, in fact, real sayings. Personally my money's on the latter, but it's anyone's guess. Either way, I thank her for embiggening my previous post with her contribution.
