[Ads-l] A couple of first-heards

[Wilson Gray]

Heard on medical reality-TV show from Louisville:

Grandmother: "She gave me my first _grandboy_!

Doctor            : "His _great toe_ presents as gangrenous."


"Grandboy" is in at least four on-line dictionaries, but I haven't heard it
or read it, before.

Naturally, I'm quite familiar with "great toe," but this is the first that
I've ever heard anyone actually say it.

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