Subject: "Shut on the water"



ADS-Lers:

    One of my colleagues recently sent me the following query. He

grew up in San Francisco, I believe. Has anyone else encountered it?

     Did you, by the way, ever hear the expression "shut on the

water"? That's what the kids used to say in my growing-up neighborhood. I

suppose if they could shut it off, they could shut it on.
