    Whoopsie Daisies! I remember this expression from the movie "Gangs of New York" when Bill the butcher throws a knife to this girl and almost slith her throat.... Great performance from Daniel Day-Lewis.

    Fun fact: actual scientific testing has been done in regards to the phrase "like the back of my hand." Pictures were taken of the test subjects' hands, left and right, both the back and the palm side. The result? All could instantly identify which photo was the one of the back of their hand. The palm side, not so much. Great video, and happy birthday in advance (exactly one month away, I haven't forgotten).

    In the 90’s I used to listen the British Punk band “The Toy Dolls”, and I remember they used a lot of typical British expressions. 😂👍 So lovely, I miss this period. 🤗♥️🇬🇧
    PS: and the Ska band “Madness” was awesome too. 🥰

    Okey dokey was even incorporated in my language, just like spic and span, but more like in the '70's, '80's.
