At an amusement park that other day, I overheard a father berating his son 
with these phrases repeated many times, "All you've done is complain. Ain't 
nothing too good for you. I'm taking you home." I assume he meant "ain't 
nothing good enough for you," unless this is another of those reversed 
meaning phrases, such as "I could care less." Any comments? Robert.
