I heard a co-worker utter this phrase today. My immediate reaction was as follows:
- What is a bippy?
- Is the sweet bippy a variation of a regular bippy?
- How much does a bippy run for that you'd be willing to gamble with it?
These questions still remain unclear, but rest assured, I'm working on it. Hopefully Google will come through for me as it usually does.
I've hinted at this in previous posts, (i.e. turning over a new leaf) but I'm still amazed at how many phrases we use that make little to no sense anymore. "Turning over a new leaf", as I've mentioned, refers to turning over a page in a book, or in the metaphoric sense, "turning to a new leaf in the book of your life." It only recently dawned on me that the leaf in question is not an actual leaf from a tree.
My buddy Dave over at Sheldon Comics http://www.sheldoncomics.com would agree with me when I say: That's a whole lot of lumber. (read his blog to get the joke).
The forum's open on this one. What other sayings have you heard that make no sence?

so i read your blog for the first time and BLAM there's "you bet your sweet bippy" i almost died laughing. I find myself saying stupid things like Holy Hannah? Is hannah really holy? or does hannah have holes in her shirt? who knows. But damn Bippy. I almost peed my pants! Funny Andy! Just hilarious.
Good to hear! I hope it won't be the last time you read it ;)
Check in as often as you'd like, there's bound to be something you'll get a kick out of~
"I'll buy that for a dollar!"
So Andy as you know and me being the mother of your daughter I have heard some crazy things, but "bippy"? Maybe thats a new word for bet your bottom dollar. Well that could be a blog in it self. But maybe its the new saying for butt. Butt...Bippy, I see the connection! :) Qdub for life
Hey Andy is Johnny T your brother is Liz's babies daddy. LOL
Bottom dollar sounds at least reasonable. But then again, who knows..that's why I stick with "that's a whole lotta lumber".
Bet your sweet Bippy.... that's from the 60's. I can kinda remember that from some show -but I'm Not that old!
How about Bite MY A$$ -now who would really say that and mean it? But still people say it.
It's ass man.
And yes, the sweet one is a better variation.
Price: Negotiable
It was Laugh-In. One of the greatest comedy shows of all time..and that's not just because of Goldie Hawn in a bikini...though it helped.
Out of curiousity, I ran a search for the "sour bippy"...it produced some porn sites and a really strange German site. I left it alone.
First of all Goldie Hawn in a bikini is NASTY so STOP IT! :)
Well, NOW she is. Back when she was 26...that's a different load of bannanas.
