i agree with everyone else~"tossing one's cookies" referrs to throwing up. ******************************************************************* Sarah cinnimon@vvm.com http://members.tripod.com/~cinnimon4 ---------- This is a kind of stupid `I-have-a-bet-with-this-friend-of-mine' (my boyfriend actually) question. I mentioned that the cab we got in the other day smelt like someone had tossed his cookies in it - yes, an unashamed steal from TCIR - but he looked at me kind of strangely. I always thought that tossing one's cookies referred to throwing up (and was a really nice epithet for it), whereas he maintains that it's something quite different ... how shall I put this - involving quite another bodily compulsion. Can anyone help me out here? Who's right? (we Australians have similar confusions on the exact nature of these cooties we're always hearing about) Camille verona_beach@geocities.com @ THE ARTS HOLE www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Theater/6442 THE INVERTED FOREST www.angelfire.com/pa/invertedforest
