Subject: Forty-eleven
I was wondering if anybody out there has ever heard of the
expression forty-eleven. I used to live in Lexington,
Kentucky and never heard of this until I moved up to Carter
County, Kentucky. At first, I thought, "What the hell?"
But now, it's become common place to me and I say all the
time. For those of you who need a definition(Lori, my God,
quit staring over my shoulder), forty-eleven is a
number that is not defined. It can mean a few or very many
things in a group. Anyway, before I was interrupted, I just
wanted to see if this was common anyplace else other than
here.
Thanks a whole forty-eleven bunch,
Shane Sallee
I am only familiar with forty-eleven from an old comic book I read in my youth.
I believe it was Mighty Mouse.
What about umpteen or umpty-ump as other dialect terms for an unspecified or
very large number of things.
