So in my never ending quest to refrain from using swear words in 2008 (another resolution gone to hell within the first two days of January), I dropped the phrase "doesn't know shit from shinola" the other day. I've used this phrase on and off many times, but Tom couldn't stop laughing the other day. "That sounds like a Bill reference where did you pick THAT up!?!?" Well yes, it did come from my dad. But the best part is thanks to Google its actually a real phrase!!!! Growing up my dad would string a bunch of obscenities together. The more colorful the obscenity, the more punctuated his frustration was behind it. Man I'm still laughing this one actually has a history behind it. Here I always thought it was totally made up. Ah thanks Google for clearing up some confusing childhood moments!
You don't know shit from Shinola!
