Did anyone ever hear: Lick your calf over? (redo your job) or It isn't what you say but how you say it? (don't cuss or use slang)
Love the good, better, best phrase. I had never heard that.
My home ec teacher told us that when a garment is made it should be made so that it could be worn inside out - finish those seams and cut the tails of thread. (she meant it too)
