Another gem: "who shot john"

"who shot john" defined:
(idiom) A long and involved explanation; or, a thing of which an explanation would be long and involved.

My old boyfriend's mom used to say this, and she's the only person I've heard use it. But it has a definition and other people DO say it. Now you will want to adopt it, GUAR-AN-TEED!! Seriously, try it ... you'll love it.

I give my students an idiom each day... I wonder if they would get this. They surprise me everyday.
