"Getting Everleighed"

[Wilson Gray]

In her book, _Sin in the Second City_, Keren Abbott, as noted in an
NYT book review by Janet  Maslin, makes the claim that " ... the
phrase, 'getting Everleighed' was abbreviated into 'one of America's
bawdiest idioms' ..."

Really?! I did not know that.

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
